Bio
After finishing second in each of his first two starts for trainer John Shirreffs and owners Jerry and Ann Moss, the same trainer-owner tandem that raced Hall of Famer Zenyatta, Royal Mo broke through with a clear win when stretching out to a mile at Del Mar in November 2016. He opened his 2017 season with a victory in the Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita Park to earn a spot on the path to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands.

He opened his 2017 season with a victory in the Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita Park to earn a spot on the path to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands. He then finished a disappointing ninth of 11 in the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes, but responded to post a game third-place finish behind stablemate Gormley and Battle of Midway in the Santa Anita Derby after dueling for the lead for most of the race.
The Kentucky-bred colt by champion Uncle Mo is a half-brother to stakes winner Tara From the Cape.
