At The Saturday Post blog, Jennifer Wirth interviews Uncle Mo owner Mike Repole.  Among other topics, Repole talks about Uncle Mo’s potential as a Triple Crown contender:

“Whether Uncle Mo has the potential or not, we’ll know the answer on June 11 at the Belmont, or we may even find out at the Kentucky Derby.

But, I can’t tell you that I’m not dreaming of winning the Kentucky Derby or that I’m not dreaming of winning the Triple Crown.  I’ve been dreaming of this for almost thirty years.  The only difference now is that I have a horse that has the potential to actually do it.

As for his potential, I have no doubt.  But, a lot has to happen in the meantime.  It takes a lot of luck.  A lot of great horses have not won the Kentucky Derby or the Triple Crown.  A lot of great horses have won one or two of those races, but didn’t win the Triple Crown.”
