Mucho Macho Man, like the rest of the field, had high hopes entering the Kentucky Derby. He managed to come through with a solid performance, finishing third at the first leg of the Triple Crown. Mucho Macho Man may not have won the race as he would have liked, but he figures to be a key figure in the quest for Animal Kingdom towards the Triple Crown.

Horse racing odds have Mucho Macho Man as one of the favorites at 5-1.

Mucho Macho Man had a great run at Belmont Park on the 17th of May, running the half-mile in 49 1/5 seconds. The track wasn’t in great condition, but the horse ran well over the four furlongs anyway.

One of the encouraging things was that the horse was pretty steady throughout his most recent run. He showed no signs of slowing down and it appears that the horse could have an even better race at the Preakness Stakes than he did at the Kentucky Derby.

Animal Kingdom was the winner of the Kentucky Derby and his biggest rival might be Mucho Macho Man due to some recent changes in the lineup at the Preakness Stakes. Nehro, the second place finisher at the Kentucky Derby, has withdrawn from the Preakness. Mucho Macho Man will likely start the Preakness Stakes as one of the favorites for the upcoming race.

Mucho Macho Man is owned by Reever Thoroughbred Racing and Dream Team Racing Stable. He is the son of Macho Uno and is ridden by Rajiv Maragh.

The Preakness Stakes will take place on the 21st of May in Pimlico.

There are a few horses that seem like favorites for the biggest horse race in the world as the Kentucky Derby is coming up.

In Kentucky Derby Odds, Uncle Mo is at 4-1 to win the Run for the Roses. Dialed In, at 3-1 is the only horse ahead of Uncle Mo in Kentucky Derby Betting.

Through his excellent racing in a number of G1 races, Uncle Mo earned his role as a favorite for the race. In October the horse started out his success in G1 races when he won at Champagne. In November, he continued with a winner at the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. At the Timey Writer S. in March, his win continued to help his stock.

His last race raised some questions unfortunately. Uncle Mo was only able to finish in the 3rd place spot at the Wood Memorial, a G1 race. For the Kentucky Derby, some people felt like this showed that Uncle Mo wasn’t as much of a favorite as he was assumed to be.

Mike Repole of Repole Stable is the owner of Uncle Mo. For the horse, Repole has Todd A. Pletcher as the trainer. It looks like the Puerto Rican Jockey John Velazquez will ride the horse in the Derby as he has raced the horse for a while.

At Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby, the first leg of the Triple Crown, is scheduled to take place on the 7th of May, this Saturday. This Saturday Uncle Mo hopes to show up and put out a good performance. Uncle Mo may be a good candidate for a run at the Triple Crown if he is able to win the first leg of the Derby.
