According to a post by Mike Repole on X, Champion 2-Year-Old Colt and Coolmore sire Uncle Mo (Indian Charlie–Playa Maya, by Arch) was euthanized at Ashford Stud on Thursday morning after suffering a left foreleg injury. Surgery was performed on Wednesday.

“I am devastated and saddened to share with you that Uncle Mo was euthanized earlier today following a left foreleg injury,” said Repole. “He had surgery yesterday. Unfortunately, this morning the recovery process was too much for him to endure.

“The Repole Stable family, Todd Pletcher family and the entire Coolmore family are heartbroken,” he said. “Uncle Mo was so much more to me than a champion and iconic stallion–he was and always will be a part of my family. Uncle Mo is the patriarch of Repole Stable. There will never be another horse that makes me feel or will impact my life the way that Uncle Mo has.

“I want to thank Todd Pletcher and his barn, Johnny Velazquez, the Coolmore Family, especially Uncle Mo's personal groom, Rene, and for everyone who loved Uncle Mo, for all the love and support they gave Uncle Mo,” Repole said. I am so grateful for the time that Uncle Mo and I spent together this May. Thank you Uncle Mo for fulfilling my childhood dreams of owning a special racehorse.

“I love you Uncle Mo,” he said. Rest In Peace.”
