More or less on even terms in that line of three on the swing for home, Modonday drifted out several paths in upper stretch, but went clear of his rivals with every stride to report home 7 1/2 lengths to the good of Vekoma City.The unraced Brand New Day, who passed away after leaving this third foal behind, was a half-sister to New York-bred stakes winner Held Accountable.A $250,000 Keeneland September yearling, Mo Donegal raced for the partnership of Jerry Crawford's Donegal Racing and Mike Repole's Repole Stable and won his maiden when tried over a distance of ground for the first time before defeating Zandon (Upstart) in the 2021 GII Remsen Stakes.
