One of the better late-season juveniles in the Northeast, Mo Donegal showed great acceleration and fighting spirit when holding out Zandon to win the Remsen S. (G2) in December. He could give owners Donegal Racing a chance for their first Derby winner after third-place finishes with Paddy O’Prado (2010) and Dullahan (2012). Has a classic pedigree – his sire Uncle Mo fathered 2016 Derby winner Nyquist, and his dam is a daughter of Island Sand, runner-up in the 2004 Kentucky Oaks.
