Purchased for $340,000 from the 2022 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2yo in Training Sale, Victory Formation began his career by breaking his maiden in his debut at Keeneland where he was named a TDN ‘Rising Star’. After winning a first-level allowance at Churchill Downs, Victory Formation aced his stakes debut, going gate-to-wire to win the $250,000 Smarty Jones Stakes at Oaklawn Park where he earned 10 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby.
