2011 Breeders Cup: Uncle Mo Is Clear Cut Obvious Choice for $5 Million Purse
The biggest prize in Horse Racing is about to be given away as the start of the 2011 Breedersโ Cup begins today, with the winner receiving a huge payday of $5 million.
But, when looking to put money on this high value purse, you donโt want to look towards an underdog, or a chance.ย ย
Instead you want to make an investment on the best horse in this series of races. You have to put your money down on the odds-on favorite to win this Cup. The best horse in this raceโUncle Mo.ย
If you were worried about how Uncle Mo is feeling, just take a look at his Twitter feed. Heโs tweeting out that heโs having a great time in preparation of the start of the Breedersโ Cup. ย ย
Okay so maybe a horse really canโt Twitter, but doesn't it gives you a sense of security?ย ย
So, letโs get away from a horse acting like Mr. Ed and get back to the facts.ย ย
According to the San Francisco Chronicleโs Larry Stumes, about the 5/2 favorite Uncle Mo, โUncle Mo has raced as far as 1 1/8 miles only once in seven starts (five wins), and his only 1 1/16-mile race came in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile.โย ย
Uncle Moโs owner Mike Repole said, โThis is the Uncle Mo we expected to see his whole 3-year-old season ... losing 200 pounds in May and June and putting that weight back on and competing at such a high level ... to come up with those two performances was amazing."ย
Mo came onto this scene like a bolt of lightning back in 2010 as a two-year-old, but a liver disease set the horse back, as it crushed his Triple Crown dreams.ย ย
"It would take one of the greatest horses of all time to pull this off," Repole said. "This is no ordinary horse. If any horse in the history of racing could win the Classic after going from seven furlongs to one mile and never having run farther than 1 1/8 miles, it's Uncle Mo."ย
The only competition to Moโs dominance in this Breedersโ Cup is Havre de Grace. Grace is the Frazier to Moโs Ali, the Red Sox to Moโs Yankees and so on and so forth. The thorns in the side of a champion.ย ย
This is Uncle Moโs Cup to lose, as he is the best horse in this race. He should win this Cup and the $5 million prize. Put a wager down on the 5/2 favorite to win the Breeders' Cup and watch the extra money flow into your bank account.ย
