Pletcher statement re: Uncle Mo vet exam results
Statement from Todd Pletcher Regarding Veterinarian Exam and Test Results on Uncle Mo
Todd Pletcher "Although it is not my standard practice to share a horse’s examination results with anyone other than the owner, I feel that Uncle Mo’s disappointing performance in the Wood Memorial warrants an explanation. After his three extremely impressive starts as a two-year-old and his dominant performance in the Timely Writer S. in March, the Wood Memorial was an uncharacteristically poor effort. On Tuesday, we did a number of tests and pulled some blood work. Late yesterday, both Mike and I spoke with the vets, who concluded that Uncle Mo has a GI tract infection, and we began treatment immediately. The vets also concluded that Uncle Mo is perfectly capable of returning to full training while the treatment continues. He will ship to Churchill Downs on April 18th and will have two works before May 7th. If I do not feel that Uncle Mo is 100% for the Kentucky Derby, both Mike and I agree that he will not run. My main focus is to return Uncle Mo to optimum health in the next 23 days, and I am optimistic that we can accomplish this goal."

I almost get the feeling that Repole made Pletcher go public with the report/excuse to save face.

It does sound a bit far fetched.

Also - all the people who know people who know people - were buzzing about how something was supposedly wrong with the horse while he was out training and working on cue every Sunday ... and other horses (like The Factor and Premier Pegasus) were flat out missing works. If I had to make a line on the secret surgery... I'd say it's 90% that he had it. 10% that he didn't have it.
