NEW YORK (AP) — Kentucky Derby contender Uncle Mo had a thorough physical exam after a disappointing run in the Wood Memorial, and trainer Todd Pletcher said Tuesday that the 3-year-old colt came out fine.
Pletcher said in a statement that Uncle Mo had blood work, an ultrasound of internal organs and other exams and the full results will be known by Thursday. In the meantime, the Breeders’ Cup juvenile winner will be back on the track for a workout Wednesday morning.
Uncle Mo was unbeaten heading into the Wood Memorial, where he was passed by Toby’s Corner and Arthur’s Tale in the stretch at Aqueduct to finish third.
Uncle Mo is scheduled to be shipped to Churchill Downs on April 18.
