Repole really hopes "Uncle" has the "Mo" [NBCsports]
« on: May 04, 2011, 09:08:03 PM »
Mike Repole’s motto -- “Think big; dream bigger” –- sums up his biography, a classic American success story of rising from humble beginnings to stratospheric heights in the business world.

But that motivational phrase applies just as well to his love of thoroughbred racing, and his 30-year ambition to win the Kentucky Derby. On Saturday, Repole hopes to have two chances to fulfill that elusive childhood dream: last year’s champion two-year-old colt Uncle Mo, and his talented stablemate Stay Thirsty.

Queensfinest will be at Churchill Downs putting $2 on Uncle Mo's nose for me. Last year he was there betting two bucks on Super Saver for me. If I win again on Saturday I think I'll quit my job and become a railbird. :D

The 18th pole will help in that decision
