Racing as a homebred for Richard Santulli’s Colts Neck Stables, Force the Pass won the Grade 1 Belmont Derby as a 3-year-old, having previously scored in the Grade 3 Penn Mile. He added a victory in Monmouth Park’s Cliff Hanger Stakes as a 6-year-old, and placed in an additional half-dozen graded stakes.
He is out of the multiple Grade 3-winning Dynaformer mare Social Queen. Force the Pass stood a single season for Wasabi prior to his sale to Haif Stud in Saudi Arabia last summer, covering 57 mares at Anchor & Hope.
“This filly has everything you’d hope for in a stallion’s first foal,” according to George Adams, Wasabi’s Director of Stallions & Breeding. “She’s got plenty of leg, lots of substance, and she’s nice and correct. If they all look like this, the breeders are going to be very happy.”
