While we will never know if his disappointing showing in the Breeder's Cup Classic was due to the elevated liver enzyme, or the elevated liver enzyme was due to running in the Breeder's Cup Classic, this elevated enzyme is the reason that Uncle Mo is being retired from racing, according to Bloodhorse.
"It was really bad in March and April," said Mike Repole, his owner. "What he has now is just a high GGT. We knew this could be brought on by stress, such as running and racing."
Uncle Mo will stand at Ashford Stud and no stud fees have been announced. The bigger question, in my opinion, is why would you want to pass on this liver enzyme condition, assuming it is gene related? Maybe they should figure that out before they breed more Uncle Mo's.
