Bio
More Than Looks was unplaced in his career debut Feb. 19, 2023, in a five-furlong turf sprint at Gulfstream Park. He needed just one more start to notch his first win as the More Than Ready colt won a 1-mile and 70-yard maiden special weight race that came off the turf, prevailing by a neck at Gulfstream in March in his second race.
Trainer Cherie DeVaux returned More Than Looks to the grass for his next race and he finished a fast-closing second by a head going one mile April 28 at Keeneland.

More Than Looks used similar closing tactics to win his fourth start by a neck June 17 at Ellis Park. The victory was encouraging enough that DeVaux opted to try him against stakes competition next in the $250,000 Manila Stakes July 7 at Belmont Park.
Highly regarded Nagirroc and Talk of the Nation dueled into deep stretch in the one-mile Manila, but More Than Looks proved much the best as he swept past in the closing strides en route to a clear victory in 1:33.19.
More Than Looks was produced by the stakes-winning harlan’s Holiday mare Ladies’ Privilege, a full-sister (same dam, same sire) to multiple graded stakes winner Takeover Target.
