Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 4, 2020 Journalists Share Posted July 4, 2020 The flashy UNCLE CHUCK (c, 3, Uncle Mo–Forest Music, by Unbridled’s Song) went from maiden winner to graded winner as he ran away with the GIII Los Alamitos Derby as the overwhelming 2-5 favorite. A seven-length romper going a flat mile at Santa Anita June 12, the half-brother to brilliant debut winner and sire Maclean’s Music (Distorted Humor) was bet down to 13-1 in last week’s GI Kentucky Derby future pool and gave his backers reason to feel good about their chances Saturday. Facing just three foes, including stablemate and MGSW Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile), the leggy dark bay chased the pace while kept well off the rail. He made a quick move to challenge for the lead around the bend, and while Thousand Words looked like he might be going better heading into the long Los Al stretch, Uncle Chuck found plenty more despite some lead issues to bound away by about four lengths and stop the clock in 1:47.65. Sales history: $250,000 yrl ’18. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O-Karl Watson, Michael Pegram & Paul Weitman. B-Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings LLC (Ky). T-Bob Baffert.
