Default Uncle Mo diagnosis

Cholangiohepatitis

http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...-mos-diagnosis

Can someone expand on this? How serious/chronic is it?

The weight gain points towards a good prognosis, although he'll gain weight from not being in heavy training. Can't say the severity without seeing the bloodwork, but the last bloodwork they publicized only had mild changes, so I'd be very optimistic.

It doesn't necessarily have to be chronic - could resolve. They'll just have to see.

This fits precisely with everything they've ever said about the horse publicly.

In related news, Stay Thirsty was diagnosed as being a pig but is still pointed to the Belmont.

This is good news about Uncle Mo. Back to Pletcher beginning August. First race early September, next early October, then Breeders' Cup. They've kept him in light work, he should get right back to it, if he doesn't have any other problems.

Undoubtedly. You should go ahead and carve that schedule in stone.

... but I was wondering why Nick said it.

I mean he's not Citation but surely he's better than a lot of them no?

My post was certainly tongue in cheek.

I didn't mean to take anything away from the groundbreaking Uncle Mo news. Now at least they'll have an ironclad reason to retire him in a month and announce where he's going to stand for $7,500.

Stay Thirsty is a very average horse whose high profile trainer and owner have garnered him respect and attention that his racing prowess never warranted.

And on the topic of hep.

In the hospital they want to give a newborn baby the hep B shot. Is anything more stupid than this? A sexually transmitted disease, they want to vaccinate for. And how many parents just blindly say yes as their newborn is just trying to adjust its system to the outside world it met hours ago. ****ing madness.

hep c is an STD, I dont think hep a and hep b are though.

Yeah, I know. I'd say you are about 92.3% likely to be right.
