Uncle Mo, a $160,000 KEENOV weanling and
$220,000 KEESEP yearling, had been training smartly
and, bolstered by Todd Pletcher’s impressive array of
juvenile winners at this meet, was bet down to 4-5.
The bay colt came away running and quickly assumed
command. He had a 1 1/2-length advantage at the
quarter pole and readily opened up under a hand ride
from John Velazquez to streak under the wire 14 1/4
lengths in front. The 51-1 Admiral Perry (First Samurai)
was a clear second, with 25-1 Sinorice (Hold That
Tiger) rounding out the $1,292 triactor. Lifetime Record:
1-1-0-0, $36,000. O-Repole Stable. B-Respite Farm, D M Cavey DVM (KY). T-T Pletcher.
