His announced fee for 2012 is 35k, making him the second highest priced stallion at Coolmore (America), behind, of course, GC.

The other new stallion, Capo Blanco, $17.5K.

Frankly, he is just another stallion I would never send a mare to..........

Thanks for the hype. May your jizz be as overrated and sour as your racing career.

DWL's 3-year-old campaign with Uncle Mo.


Race 1: He comes back off a 3 month layoff and 2 workouts to get dusted in some mediocre stakes race at 6f.

Race 2: Not sure what allowance he could get into at Oaklawn, but he loses that one at a mile at Oaklawn 3 weeks later at 2-5.

Race 3: 2 weeks after his last allowance loss, he loses another one at 1 1/16 miles after looking like a million $$ at the quarter pole, then folding like a cheap suit to 4th.

Race 4: He wins the Rebel at 13-1.

Race 5: He runs at Keeneland in the Blue Grass even though the horse has no prior form on poly, and no reason to start now, but Lukas likes to talk and be seen. Mo goes to the lead and is ahead by 6 after a half mile, but steadily fades to last by 19 lengths.

Race 6: Horse wins the Lexington in dominating fashion at 9-1. DWL won't shut up afterward about how HE now has the horse just right.

Race 7: Finishes 19th in the Kentucky Derby at 7-2.

Race 8: Convinced the horse just needed the race, he goes to Pimlico and gets destroyed again.

Race 9: After a freshening and 1 workout, Uncle Mo runs in some random turf race at Saratoga. He goes to the lead and looks like a complete runoff...then finishes like one...7th place.

Race 10: Uncle Mo wins the Jim Dandy by 6 lengths at 18-1.

Race 11: Uncle Mo goes off favored and sits a beautiful trip in the Travers, laying 3rd off an average pace, then spits the bit on the turn.

Race 12: Entered in the BC Turf Mile for some reason, as well as the Classic, DWL decides Mo is going to the classic. The horse runs a great race and finishes 3rd at 55-1.

Race 13: Uncle Mo runs DFL in the Cigar Mile.
