During his six-race career, Mo Donegal has finished 3 times as the winner, twice as the third place, and once as the fifth (at the KD).
Another significant factor that can lead experts to believe that this is the horse for 2022 Belmont Stakes Betting purposes is that the Belmont race track is where Mo Donegal broke his maiden.
