Going to Saratoga for the Travers on August 27th? Well, you might get the opportunity to see Uncle Mo return to the track in the 7 furlong King's Bishop on the same race card! Uncle Mo was set to return to trainer Todd Pletcher's barn at Saratoga on July 11th with an eye on the Kings Bishop.

According to Pletcher, Uncle Mo has been galloping at WinStar and looks and feels great. "We've seen a steady stream of videos of him, so it's not like we hadn't known what he's looking like or doing," Pletcher told Bloodhorse. "He has a bright, glossy coat, something we hadn't been able to achieve before. He's put on weight and his blood work is normal. Those were the things that were frustrating us this spring."

With Animal Kingdom on the mend from surgery, the three year old division is, as always, in flux and if Uncle Mo finishes the year strong, he certainly could be a contender without having raced in the Triple Crown series.

Let's hope his recovery continues on the up and up!
