First off, before we get to the Uncle Mo and Stay Thirsty works, let’s at least acknowledge both colts for getting this far. The two Mike Repole-owned and Todd Pletcher-trained colts are the only horses from the Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I) that are still around. Boys at Tosconova, Rogue...

(Part IIII of an ongoing blog authored by Mike Repole, owner of the previous Kentucky Derby favorite, Uncle Mo) Wow, what a difference three weeks can make. On April 3, I was sitting comfortable with two horses that were on almost everyone's top 5 Kentucky Derby lists, including Uncle Mo, who was undefeated...

1 Uncle Mo Todd Pletcher Indian Charlie —Playa Maya, by Arch Boy, am I going to get hammered for this move. I just cannot come up with a #1 that I’m totally comfortable with, so I am going back to the horse most people thought was a superstar only a couple of weeks ago and who had an encouraging 5-furlong...

Blaming my Derby winner choice on "The World's Most Interesting Man" is not too far from fact. Stay Thirsty caught my attention last year, less due to his skill, and more for the very fact that "Stay Thirsty My Friends" is the tag line to one of my favorite television commercial campaigns in the last...

A little more than a week ago, after Uncle Mo went down in the Wood Memorial, I wrote that Kentucky Derby 137 had become a free-for-all.

Because of his late start and huge jump from a maiden sprint to his Holy Bull score, Zito is handling...

1 Dialed In Nick Zito Mineshaft —Miss Doolittle, by Storm Cat He gets pushed up to the top spot, partly because he’s done enough to earn it and partly because there is no one else to put there. We haven’t seen Zito this high on a horse in a long time, and he definitely has a special feeling for him....

At 5:52 p.m. EDT on April 9, Kentucky Derby 137 officially became a free-for-all. Uncle Mo's defeat in the Wood Memorial was shocking. There is no getting around it. Very few people expected the undefeated 2-year-old champ and Derby favorite to get beat, let alone challenged, by a seemingly overmatch...

A huge weekend of racing like this, which includes three Derby preps and opening weekend of Keeneland, needs little introduction. Let's get right to it. Santa Anita Derby It was a major bummer to see a talented horse like Premier Pegasus injured and out of the race. It's a reminder of how fleeting Kentucky...
