Our Story
The genesis of Mo Speed Racing traces back to a pivotal moment when a client, instead of opting for the usual golf outing, suggested a visit to Thistledown Racetrack to founder Scott Mawaka. This seemingly innocuous decision set in motion a chain of events that would forever alter Mawaka’s trajectory. From the thundering hooves on the track to the electrifying atmosphere, Mawaka found himself captivated by the raw excitement of horse racing.
Central to Mo Speed Racing’s success is its commitment to cultivating a diverse network of horsemen and trainers. Recognizing that each horse possesses unique strengths and potential, Mo Speed Racing strategically collaborates with a range of experts, from established names to emerging talent. This approach not only broadens the scope of opportunities but also ensures that every horse receives the specialized care and attention it deserves.
