Unfortunately, after follow-up diagnostics were performed on Mo Temptation, it was discovered she has an issue with her knee.
This is of course disappointing news as she was race-ready again from a fitness standpoint, but at this point in her career with an issue like this, a decision has been made in the best interest of the horse to retire her. We believe we did everything we could and gave her as much time as possible to make it back to the races, but things did not come to fruition.
We are currently working on rehoming plans and in the meantime, she has shipped to Sunshine Farm in Bradbury near the racetrack.
We will continue to keep you all updated on the next plan for Mo Temptation.
As owners of "Mo T" we are in hardy agreement with the decision made regarding her retirement. We'll keep you updated on any future news on her next home.
Mo T was our very first partnership with MRH, so the beautiful daughter of Mo Town will always be a very special filly for us.
Here's a picture gallery of our time with Mo Temptation.

As the winds of fortune so often change in this industry, after our high of seeing Seize The Grey win the 2024 Preakness, we now are faced with a little more somber news as our lovely Mo Temptation is being retired from racing.
Just prior to being entered for her next start, the Doug O'Neill team noted she was "off." They didn't enter her and observed her closely for well over a week before determining she has developed a knee issue. She has had a series of setbacks, so at this time a decision was made that it's in the best interests of the horse to retire her. They'll begin working a re-home for her in the coming weeks and we'll keep you posted.
Our promising daughter of Mo Town (believed to have been named in honor of The Temptations who had a contract with Mo Town records) was our first purchase with MRH. In spite of some brilliant works, she only had one start at Del Mar and ran 7th in a field of 12. Her sire, Mo Town, has been a very promising Uncle Mo son, and her dam is a half-sister to the outstanding NY sire, Army Mule.
We wish her all the best for the next phase of life and will keep tabs on her so we can report any future news.
