Mor Spirit Launches Sophomore Campaign in $150,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes

Class test for undefeated I Will Score

Second choice at morning line odds of 5-1 is I Will Score for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.

He will be stepping up to stakes company for the first time and will break from post two under Mike Smith.
