AOutwork and Speightster are as close to Uncle Mo and Speightstown as you will find when you look at the combination of their overall quality, physical traits, and racing traits in relation to their sires,@ said Elliott Walden, WinStar President & CEO. ASpeightstown is emerging as a sire of sires, and Speightster is closely related to Smart Strike and bred just like him. Most would expect Uncle Mo to have successful sons at stud, and Outwork looks like a carbon copy. So these are two very exciting new stallion prospects that will have the full support of some of the top breeders in the world, including WinStar and our partners Mike Repole and Woodford Thoroughbreds on Outwork.@ Outwork, a homebred for Mike Repole, becomes the first Grade I winner by leading young sire Uncle Mo to retire to stud. The GII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby runner-up also became his sire=s first winner as a 2-year-old when he impressively broke his maiden first-time out going 4 1/2 furlongs during the 2015 Keeneland Spring meet.
