Repole Stable's unbeaten champion Uncle Mo, who has yet to be challenged in his four career races, was bet down to 3-1 favoritism in the final betting pool of Churchill Downs' Kentucky Derby Future Wager. In the process, the Todd Pletcher trainee became the first individual interest to rule all three pools of the Future Wager.
Uncle Mo has raced only once this season, taking the Timely Writer S. at Gulfstream Park by 3 3/4 lengths on March 12 while going a mile. Scheduled to make his final appearance before the May 7 Grade 1 Kentucky Derby in next Saturday's Grade 1 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct, the bay colt will try nine furlongs for the first time in that $1 million contest.
Grade 3 Holy Bull winner Dialed In was listed at 10-1 on the morning line for the Future Wager following his subsequent second to older stablemate Equestrio in a March 6 optional claiming event, but redeemed himself and then some with a head score in Sunday's Grade 1 Florida Derby. A 10-1 risk when the starting gate opened for the race at 5:46 p.m. (EDT), the Nick Zito trainee's odds dropped sharply to 5-1 second favoritism when wagering in the pool ended. Churchill Downs officials actually added five minutes to the pool because the results of the Florida Derby were declared official so close to the end of the pool.
