The 2010 champion two year old Uncle Mo is one of 364 nominated for the this year’s Triple Crown series of races, which consist of the Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs on May 7, the Preakness Stakes (G1) at Pimlico Race Course on May 21, and the Belmont Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park on June 11.
Uncle Mo, who won last fall’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) at Churchill Downs, is the early favorite for the Run for the Roses.
The colt, trained by Todd Pletcher, who won last year’s Kentucky Derby with Super Saver, will make his three-year-old debut on Mar. 12 in the $400,000 Tampa Bay Derby (G2).
The early nomination process cost the connections $600, and it is not too late to join the party. Late nominations for the Triple Crown races are due by March 26 at a cost of $6,000.
Bernardini led all sires with 18 nominations, followed by Tapit with 13 and Distorted Humor with 10.
Bob Baffert and Todd Pletcher each have 20 three-year-olds nominated to lead all trainers, while Darley Stable leads all owners with 13 nominations.
