Uncle Mo is stealing all the thunder away from the Travers Stakes as part of an undercard race with King’s Bishop betting odds for him set just better than even: 13/8 (these odds are subject to vary).
Uncle Mo was the original favorite to win the 2011 Kentucky Derby before a virus forced him to sit that race out.

Uncle Mo had some competition with Flashpoint at 3/1 odds and Calebs Posse hovering near 5/1, though odds at European books were closer to 4/1.
"I believe 90 percent of the owners probably would have retired (Uncle Mo) on May 1," owner Mike Repole said. "To get this horse to where he is … the odds were so stacked against him. I want to win both (races). But if Mo wins and Stay Thirsty runs second, I'd be happy because I would feel like I knew (Uncle Mo) would be this great 3-year-old."
Trainer Todd Pletcher still considers Uncle Mo his “big horse”.
“We have every reason to be confident in the horse,” Pletcher said. “When he’s right, he’s awfully good.”
