Bumper Crop

When he cruised to a four-length win in the 2010 GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs, equaling Street Sense’s race-record 108 Beyer figure, it looked like the sky was the limit for Uncle Mo, the best horse sired by the very good sire Indian Charlie. It didn’t really pan out for him at three, though. Sidelined after a lackluster third behind Toby’s Corner in the 2011
GI Wood Memorial, he did come back later in the year to drop a nose decision to Caleb’s Posse in a typically hot-looking GI King’s Bishop S. at seven furlongs at Saratoga, and ran off on a muddy track to register a Beyer 118 in the GII Kelso H. (when did Kelso ever run over a mile?) back at Belmont before fading to 10th in Drosselmeyer’s GI Breeders’ Cup Classic.
