Mojo:
The word Mojo entered the English Language during the 19th
Century. In the Caribbean, Mojo is a supernatural power used for such
things as protecting one from evil or crossed conditions, drawing love,
or bringing good luck or success in gambling and other money matters.
In the United States, the word Mojo has taken on similar connotations,
and is often chronicled by reggae, blues, and rock musicians for the
sexual prowess some good Mojo will bring you. The most celebrated
reference being by Muddy Waters in his jumping song “Got My Mojo
Work'n”.
Because
it’s a perfect fit for the concept. The thoroughbred horse
business isn’t easy, and one can get bummed out in a split second
by the cold hand of racing reality. As such, the spirit of this group
rests in our collective intellect, attitude, and will of all
Participants.
Giving
the people what they want, and doing everything possible to make sure
everyone's experience as enjoyable as possible is the most important
matter. The Mojo concept is a rather unorthodox method to break into
the sport of kings; but it's better to be ourselves, have a lot of fun,
and celebrate the Hell out of everything we do. Our name and the color
of our silks are reflections of a culture that represents the freedom
to participate; to enjoy each other's company; and to have fun at all
levels. Mix in a little TLC, and I think we have a good formula for
success.
Net
