No Derby for Uncle Mo

Champion Uncle Mo was withdrawn from the Kentucky Derby Friday morning, a development that was not altogether unexpected.
Owner Mike Repole and trainer Todd Pletcher had been indicating that if they weren't certain that the colt was 100 percent, they would not race him in the 1 1/4-mile classic.
Since losing his unbeaten status in the April 9 Wood Memorial, Uncle Mo was diagnosed with a gastro-intestinal infection. He was being treated with antibiotics while continuing to train for the Derby.
More details will be forthcoming after his connections hold a press conference.
