Mo Forza
The morning of Sept. 29, the connections of Mo Forza had a fairly promising turf prospect on their hands. A five-race maiden, yes, but a promising prospect.
What a difference three months can make. Mo Forza finally won a race the afternoon of Sept. 29, and that was just the start of things. Mo Forza followed up his maiden win with a victory in the Grade 2 Twilight Derby. For an encore, he won the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby, and to put an exclamation point on his rapid rise, Mo Forza ended his campaign with a sharp score in the Grade 2 Mathis Brothers Mile.
