Wood win would make it 5 in a row for Uncle Mo
April 8, 2011NEW YORK (AP) - Uncle Mo gives his owner, trainer and jockey every indication he can be a special racehorse.
Owner Mike Repole sees it in Uncle's Mo's eyes, and in his bay colt's confident gait and calm demeanor.
Todd Pletcher knows a champion when he sees one, and the nation's leading trainer says Uncle Mo has the potential to be among the all-time greats if he continues ``doing what he's been doing.''
John Velazquez has been aboard Uncle Mo for all four of his victories and says he's versatile enough to win no matter how the race sets up.
The rest of the racing world gets another chance to see Uncle Mo on Saturday, when the leading Kentucky Derby contender goes against nine other 3-year-olds in the $1 million Wood Memorial at Aqueduct Racetrack.
