News from the Uncle Mo camp that the two year old male champion is to begin jogging today, June 27, at WinStar Farm where he has been recovering from Cholangiohepatitis, a rare disease that affects the liver.
Since his arrival at WinStar, Uncle Mo has gained 100 pounds and his latest bloodwork indicates that he is most definitely improving.
The plan was for him to begin walking the shedrow under tack with a rider on his back over the weekend and hopefully return to the track today. That said, there is no specific timetable for his training regime but the ultimate goal is for him to return to Todd Pletcher's stable at Belmont.
Let's hope things continue to improve for this handsome and talented champion. "If his body can't withstand the rigors of training at the track, he will be retired," said owner Mike Repole. "Right now, I am optimistic; the doctors are optimistic; it's all positive. . . At the end of the day, you can be sure I'll do what is best for the horse."
