Default Uncle Mo out? -- UPDATE: Repole says 'all good'

The chick on HRTV is saying she has it from "a good source" that Uncle Mo is out of the Derby. Anyone? Anyone?

Roger Stein said on his show that he heard from 'someone in the barn' that Uncle Mo won't go, but no one from Pletcher to Repole to mouthpiece Kelly Weitsma has said anything..

The Guy on HRTV just Said that producers talked to Pletcher and Pletcher said the "UNCLE MO is fine" and than the chick on HRTV said "Oh, I guess my source is wrong."

This means that Uncle Mo is going to the Derby. But, I have to say that obviously this can change.

All well according to Repole. Press release in 90 minutes. Leaves for Kentucky on the 18th.

Frankly, unless they have discovered an obvious problem, I highly doubt any real decision regarding the Derby will be made for at least a few days until they see how he comes out of the race and get him on the track and see how he trains. Not surprising that people are already trying to start rumors he is off the trail.

That's what Schrupp just said on TVG, he's at least heading to Churchill and the rest remains to be seen.

Uncle Mo to have blood tests
Uncle Mo remains a candidate for the May 7 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, but the connections of the Wood Memorial third-place finisher will take some blood work on the colt Tuesday to see if there were any issues with him going into or coming out of the race.
