Los Alamitos Derby winner Uncle Chuck put in an “effortless” six furlong workout for Hall fo Fame trainer Bob Baffert on July 20 at Del Mar, covering the distance in bullet 1:13.40.
“He's got a big, long stride,” Baffert told the Daily Racing Form. “He's a galloper.”
The 3-year-old son of Uncle Mo is expected to make his next start in the 1 1/4-mile Travers Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 8. Owned by Karl Watson, Mike Pegram, and Paul Weitman, the colt won his first career start on June 12 before defeating stablemate Thousand Words in the G3 Los Alamitos Derby on July 4.
A $250,000 yearling purchase at the Keeneland September sale, Uncle Chuck has earned $120,000 in his two career starts and has 20 points toward the Kentucky Derby.
