Uncle Mo is beaten :(

Uncle Mo the Kentucky Derby fav gets beaten in the Wood Memorial

Third behind Toby's Corner (Graham Motion/Eddie Castro).

In the1973 running of the race, the great Secretariat was also beaten into third.

Secretariat went on to win the Triple Crown but not sure if Uncle Mo can do the same?

Also Pluck has poor show?

Dismal display from Pluck at Keeneland


A TRIP to Europe must surely be an unlikely prospect for Pluck after a second lacklustre effort this season for his new trainer Graham Motion at Keeneland on Friday, when he was down the field behind last-gasp winner Air Support (Shug McGaughey/ Rajiv Maragh).

Owners Team Valor are keen on a tilt at the Poule d'Essai des Poulains with Pluck, but the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner could finish only seventh of nine in the Transylvania Stakes.

Sent off 8-5 favourite, Pluck was never a factor in the $100,000 event, racing well detached at the rear of the field before the most tepid of efforts in the stretch.

He finished well adrift of Air Support, who nabbed front-runner Great Mills at the wire with a late charge.

Sorry to hear this for Barry and his team.
