Bio
Uncle Chuck, a son of champion Uncle Mo owned by Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman, made his first start on June 12, 2020 going a two-turn mile at Santa Anita and winning by seven lengths against four overmatched opponents.
Uncle Chuck, a son of champion Uncle Mo owned by Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman, made his first start on June 12, 2020 going a two-turn mile at Santa Anita and winning by seven lengths against four overmatched opponents.
That put him on the delayed Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, and trainer Bob Baffert pointed the colt to the 1 1/8-mile Grade 3 Los Alamitos Derby on July 4 for his next start. With Luiz Saez in the irons, Uncle Chuck sat just off the pace through the backstretch in the Los Al Derby and took a short length heading into the far turn. He was challenged in early stretch by stablemate and multiple graded stakes winner Thousand Words but powered clear late to a a four-length victory despite not changing leads. Uncle Chuck earned 20 qualifying points to the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby with the win.
The colt was purchased by his owners for $250,000 at the 2018 Keeneland September yearling sale. Uncle Chuck is out of the Unbridled’s Song mare Forest Music, who won two graded stakes during her racing days and also placed in two Grade 1 stakes. She has produced two graded stakes-winning foals and also Maclean’s Music, the sire of 2017 Preakness Stakes winner Cloud Computing.
