Uncle Mo Colt A Second-Out Winner At Aqueduct

2nd-Aqueduct, $80,000, Msw, 1-3, 3yo, 1 1/8m, 1:54.97, ft, 3 lengths.
UNCLE HULKA (c, 3, Uncle Mo–Canteen, by Candy Ride {Arg}) a well-beaten fourth as the favorite in his one-mile debut over the local course Nov. 3, added Lasix Friday and drew outside with an extra 1/8th of a mile to run. The 4-5 favorite let second choice A Bourbon for Tony (Bernardini) handle the tempo and sat just off through fractions of :24.39 and :49.71. Up alongside that leader off the turn, Uncle Hulka dueled briefly outside the pacesetter before putting him away and edging clear in the final sixteenth, coming home geared down three lengths in front. Come-backing Tracking Error (Good Magic) came charging from last and was making up good ground late but had to settle for second while galloping out on even terms with the winner. First-time starter and 'Insight' runner Chowser (Constitution) came home a non-factor in fourth. Canteen, who sold for $240,000 at KEENOV in 2023 to Don Alberto Corp, has a newly-turned yearling Not This Time filly and visited both Uncle Mo and Tapit for her 2025 foal. Sales History: $340,000 Ylg '23 KEEJAN; $270,000 Ylg '23 FTSAUG; $750,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $49,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
