Given the lauding about Repole's enthusiasm and what I've interpreted as his desire to boost the sport, what does Uncle Mo do for the rest of 2011? Would he campaign him aggressively? In the alternative, if Mo wins "only" one or two of the TC races, and races well through the end of the year and finishes sound, what are the chances that Mo comes back to race as a 4YO?

Partially answering my own first question, I am thinking of Repole repeatedly pointing Uncle Mo to the Wood Memorial for his last Derby prep race, but now backpeddling and saying that he may stay in Florida for the Florida Derby, saying, "It's up to Todd (Pletcher)."

After typing this ^^^^ I've slapped myself back to reality, knowing what Mo would have to achieve to even make my questions relevant. Here's to hoping that Uncle Mo comes up deserving of all the hype, and that then we get to see how Repole responds.
Repole said he'd like to keep him running for as long as he is sound and doing well. Who knows though.

As for the type of campaign? I'd run him in the Vanity and Santa Margarita the next 3 years.
