Mott earned his first Grade 1 win as a trainer when he saddled Pin Oak Stud's World Beater to victory the Saratoga Derby Invitational Stakes in August, 2025. He won his second Grade 1 a month later on Sept. 13 when his 2-year-old turfer Argos won the bet365 Summer Stakes at Woodbine. The Summer Stakes was a Breeders' Cup Challenge Series "Win and You're In" event for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, making Argos Mott's first career Breeders' Cup starter.
In 2026, Mott got his first taste of the Kentucky Derby trail with his own stable when Incredibolt won the Virginia Derby Presented by New Kent County and Albus won the Wood Memorial Stakes Presented by Resorts World Casino. Both started in the Kentucky Derby with Incredibolt finishing sixth.
