He's Baaaack!

Uncle Mo may have only raced there other horses in the Kelso on Saturday but he made quite a statement besting them all, including the experienced Jackson Bend who came at him twice. Not only is he back--he may be just as good as he once was!

Even though with his win on Saturday Unlce Mo automatically qualifies for the Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile, owner Repole wants to go after the big one--the Classic. In fact, he wants to enter both his contenders (Stay Thirsty is the other one) in the same race to have a better shot!

"I want to win the Classic," Repole said. "If Mo was in the (Dirt) Mile and won, and Stay Thirsty was in the Classic and finished third, it would be a decision I would regret for the rest of my life. Why not take to shots at a race everybody wants to win?"

Stay Thirsty finished third in the Jockey Club Gold cup, also on on Belmont's Saturday card. Flat Out won the race and earned himself a berth in the Classic. Stay Thirsty qualified for the race by winning the Travers in August.

The Classic is shaping up to be quite a race. Let's hope all contenders remain healthy between now and then!
