One of the favorites to win the Breeders Cup Juvenile on Saturday is Uncle Mo.

The 2 year old is 7-5 morning line favourite to win the race at Churchill Downs, proving himself by winning both of his starts by open length.

Trainer, Todd Pletcher, is extremely pleased with Uncle Mo's performance so far.

"He's certainly the best candidate we've had for the Breeders Cup Juvenile," he said. "I would say he's as good as any 2 year old we've ever had.

"This is his first chance to stretch out around two turns, and I really like what I'm seeing," he added.

Another serious contender at 7-2 on the morning line is The Boys of Toscanova, who made his first appearance at the track this week after arriving from Aqueduct.

The 2 year old won the Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga this past Labor Day.

Another Breeders Cup hopeful been trained by Todd Pletcher is Stay Thirsty, who has two victories and a second place in three starts.

Stay Thirsty has raced twice before, and hasn't done so since coming second to The Boys of Toscanova at Saratoga.

The mile and a sixteenth Juvenile Race promises to be an exciting run at this weekend's Breeders Cup.
