In depth
Verdict
UNCLE MO will be all the rage following a brilliant display at Saratoga which saw him win his maiden by over 14 lengths which he followed by posting the second fastest time over a mile when winning the Champagne Stakes by almost two lengths. Todd Pletcher has had his work geared towards this contest since his maiden win and this son of Indian Charlie, who has posted a triple digit Beyer figure, will be strongly fancied to secure a first Juvenile triumph for Pletcher. Stablemate Stay Thirsty isn't making up the numbers but a stronger challenge is likely to come from Boys At Tosconova who has got Richard Dutrow Jr excited. J. B.'s Thunder, Biondetti and Murjan are unbeaten, Rogue Romance showed a good finishing kick to land the Grade 3 Bourbon Stakes whilst Jaycito should not be underestimated having run on well to get the better of J P's Gusto in the Norfolk Stakes.
