2011 Kentucky Derby: Toby's Corner Out Derby Kitten In, Uncle Mo Favorite to Win

With only three days left until the Kentucky Derby wood memorial G1 winner Toby's Corner officially ruled out of the Kentucky Derby on Tuesday morning after sustaining a setback.

The Graham Motion trainee began showing signs of unsoundness in his left hind leg during the six furlongs at Fair Hill Sunday. Diagnostic tests did not pinpoint an injury. He will remain at Fair Hill instead of shipping to Churchill.

In the absence of Toby's Corner will be Lexington S. G3 winner Derby Kitten who now moves into twentieth spot on graded earnings list and earns the Derby Berth.

The top ten contenders of the Kentucky Derby are Dialed In, Uncle Mo, Archarcharch, Soldat, Mucho Macho Man, Nehro, Animal Kingdom, Stay Thirsty and Master of Hounds.

Place your bets and hope for the best at the Kentucky Derby. Who do you think will finish first at Churchill Downs? Odds are out 5/2 that Repole Stable's horse Uncle Mo is the favorite to win the Kentucky Derby in 2011.

Uncle Mo is the champion juvenile colt of 2010 and is a potential favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. Uncle Mo had a smooth five-furlong drill and galloping like a horse you cannot stop. If he continues to do as he is now he will be hard to beat.

There are concerns surrounding Uncle Mo since he has raced only one race since the Wood Memorial where he did not draw off on cue and suffered his only career loss. Despite this and a previous illness, he is sure to be a premier contender.
