Outwork was the first winner for his sire, Uncle Mo, when he won his debut in April 2015 at Keeneland. He was swiftly followed by many more winners as Uncle Mo was the leading freshman sire of 2015, highlighted by Eclipse Award champion Nyquist. As Uncle Mo moves into the next phase of his career, as a sire of sires, Outwork became the stallion’s first son to sire a winner – and was swiftly followed by another. Garoppolo, by Outwork, was a one-length winner of his second start Friday at Belmont Park. Less than three hours later, Laoban became the second son of Uncle Mo to sire a winner, as Ava’s Grace won her debut at Ellis Park. :: DRF BREEDING LIVE: Real-time coverage of breeding and sales Outwork, winner of the Grade 1 Wood Memorial, and Laoban, winner of the Grade 2 Jim Dandy, were part of the strong first crop for Uncle Mo, an Indian Charlie horse standing at Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in Kentucky. They were among the runners from Uncle Mo’s first crop to continue on strongly from ages 2 to 3. Nyquist helped Uncle Mo set the earnings record for a North American freshman sire when he emulated his father by winning the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile to cap an unbeaten campaign, and he continued on to win the 2016 Kentucky Derby. Now, six sons of Uncle Mo from that first crop are among the freshman sires of 2020, including Nyquist at Darley in Kentucky. Still awaiting his first winner, he has been represented by three starters through July 4. Meanwhile, Outwork stands at WinStar Farm in Kentucky and Laoban stands at Sequel Stallions in New York. They are joined by Uncle Lino at Northview Pennsylvania, Uncle Vinny at Equistar in Pennsylvania, and Mo for the Money at Anderson Farms in Arkansas. Uncle Mo’s son Mo Tom, standing in Louisiana, has his first yearlings this year, while Grade 1 winner Mo Town, standing alongside his sire at Ashford, and Conquest Mo Money, standing in New Mexico, both entered stud in 2019. Another son of Uncle Mo, Sea Wizard, entered stud this year in New Jersey.
