First Runner a Winner for Uncle Mo

Tara Madgwick - Friday April 24

Former Champion US 2YO Uncle Mo (USA) has wasted no time posting his first winner with this first runner when exciting colt Outwork saluted at Keeneland in the US on Thursday.

A homebred for Mike Repole's Repole Stables prepared by Todd Pletcher, Outwork found the front and then powered clear to win the four and a half furlong maiden by two and a quarter lengths with Johnny Velazquez in the saddle.

The win was a fitting one as the same connections also campaigned Outwork's sire Uncle Mo, who was the dominant juvenile of his generation scoring powerhouse Grade I wins in the Breeders Cup Juvenile and Champagne Stakes.

Outwork is the second winner for Grade I placed Nonna Mia, a half-sister to Grade II winner Cairo Prince.

Uncle Mo has been on the Coolmore Australia roster for the last three seasons covering 278 mares here and is back again this year at a fee of $16,500.

His first Australian bred yearlings have been selling at sales here this year and have sold for up to $140,000.
