We need a bridge between here and the [Nov. 5] Breeders’ Cup, and that’s the most likely one.” Mike Repole, who less than an hour earlier watched his Uncle Mo go down to defeat in the GI King’s Bishop, remarked, “It’s a roller-coaster game--it’s bi-polar.

Video, sponsored by Taylor Made. Uncle Mo turned in a remarkable performance off a four-month layoff in the King’s Bishop and, though he was upstaged in the final jump by an in-form Caleb’s Posse, last year’s Eclipse Award-winning juvenile lost very little in defeat. Three-for-four at two going one turn, Caleb’s Posse focused on routes early this year, taking the Smarty Jones S. in January at Oaklawn and finishing second to The Factor (War Front) in that track’s GII Rebel S. before a 12th in the GI Arkansas Derby Apr. 16. He bounced back to land the GIII Ohio Derby June 4, but was only fourth in the GIII Iowa Derby three weeks later. Connections decided to return him to sprints, and he came with a powerful late run for a 12-1 upset of the GII Amsterdam S. here Aug. 1. Last or second-last for the opening half-mile, Caleb’s Posse got underway approaching the stretch and set sail for Uncle Mo, who sat closer to the speed and bid four wide into the lane. The Repole runner went after a tiring Flashpoint (Pomeroy) while drifting in leaving the eighth pole and drove for the wire, but Caleb’s Posse was able to get his nose down first. “My horse is a closer,” said winning jockey Rajiv Maragh. “He broke well, but he wanted to settle back a little bit. I tried to time my run right, and I was fortunate to get up in time.” Despite the narrow loss, Mike Repole was thrilled with the comeback effort of Uncle Mo. “I think the horse ran great,” he commented, but added, “We don’t know how much that race took out of him.” Repole hinted that the champ might be retired.

  • The Top 10 Emerging Broodmare Sires in North America and Europe 1 2
    hile the broodmare sire represents just a name on a crowded catalog The Top 10 page, he can have a significant impact on the resulting foal. Since Widentifying successful broodmare sires early in their careers can help lift Emerging up a breeding program, we at TrueNicks profiled 10 young, emerging broodmare sires in North America and Europe. Broodmare sires in our top 10 were foaled no earlier than 1996, have at least 2% stakes winners to foals of racing age as Broodmare Sires broodmare sire, and are represented by two or more graded/group stakes winners in North America in that role (see full charts at the end of this report). and Europe 1. Giant’s Causeway (Storm Cat—Mariah’s Storm, by Rahy) In 2012, Giant’s Causeway was the youngest sire in the top 50 broodmare sires by worldwide earnings with a total of 14 stakes winners in the calendar year. With another 14 stakes winners to date in 2013, “The Iron Horse” can certainly lay claim to being the preeminent broodmare sire of his generation and the leader on our list of top emerging broodmare sires. Giant’s Causeway has been either a model racehorse or a model sire his entire career. Sold in utero when Coolmore’s John Magnier bought his dam for $2.6 million, Giant’s Causeway won nine races at 2 and 3 years, including the Prix de la Salamandre (Fr-I), St. James’s Palace (Eng-I), Coral Eclipse Stakes (Eng-I), Juddmonte International Stakes (Eng-I), Esat Digifone Irish Champion Stakes (Ire-I), and Champagne Lanson Sussex (Eng-I) on his way to being named European champion 3-year-old colt in 2000.
