Uncle Mo is to resume training Wednesday after getting Tuesday off. (He and Stay Thirsty jogged Monday, the day after they worked five furlongs together.) World-renowned equine internist Doug Byars, who has overseen Uncle Mo’s treatment for the inflammation, is scheduled to examine the colt again Thursday.

“We are putting the horse first, which I do for Uncle Mo or Gerard Loves Beer,” Repole wrote, referring to a cheap claimer he has who is 1 for 14.

Repole said the final decision on running Uncle Mo in the Derby “could be made as late as Saturday mid-day,” which would be well after wagering on the Derby begins at 9:30 Friday.

And, Repole said, “If he runs, he will be (the) favorite.”
