The first reported foal by grade 1-winning millionaire Force the Pass arrived Feb. 4 at Murmur Farm in Maryland. The filly is out of Magical Point, a daughter of Point Given out of a stakes-winning and stakes-producing full sister to grade 1 winner and sire Include . Magical Point, the dam of three winners, and her filly are both owned by Wasabi Ventures Stables, who also stood Force the Pass at Anchor & Hope Farm in Maryland in 2020.

The filly was bred by Wasabi Ventures Stables, Greenspring Mares, Chris and Mary Denten, et al.

Racing as a homebred for Richard Santulli's Colts Neck Stables, Force the Pass as a 3-year-old won the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes (G1T) after taking the Penn Mile Stakes (G3T). He added a victory at 6 in the Cliff Hanger Stakes at Monmouth Park and placed in an additional half dozen graded stakes throughout his career. A son of Speightstown , 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. He covered 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 and 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."
