Uncle Mo

[The Indomitable DrugS]

You look at his first three races ..

* Debut at 6f's on dirt at Saratoga.

Since Beyer figures have been published ... here are the three fastest Beyers ever earned by a debut winner going 6fs on Saratoga's dirt.

Discreet Cat 106
Uncle Mo 102
Birdstone 99

Discreet Cat never raced again at age 2 - but he did torch a good field by a wide margin that included that years Horse of the Year Invasor in a lightening fast pre Kentucky Derby Dubai win that would have earned a Beyer in the 108 to 112 range based on the final times that day.


* 2nd start in the Champagne

Uncle Mo's final clocking of 1:34.51 represented the fastest Champagne final time since Devil's Bag in '83. He didn't earn a final time figure quite as high as some other winners of previous editions .. but for a 2nd time starter it was a nice performance. The track was nice and quick that day.

* 3rd start in the BC Juvie

A lopsided win over a promising 2yo in Boys at Tusconova.
