Starlight Racing's 2015 GIII Sanford S. winner Uncle Vinny (Uncle Mo–Arealhotlover, by Untuttable) has been retired to Stonewall's Prestige Stallions in Ocala, principal Jack Wolf announced Monday. In addition to his graded stakes success, the Todd Pletcher trainee was also third in the GI Hopeful S. as a 2-year-old.
“Uncle Vinny provided our partners with many thrills during his racing career, and we are very encouraged by the Ocala breeders' enthusiasm for our Sanford Stakes winner,” Wolf said.
Pletcher added, “Uncle Vinny was well balanced, correct and very precocious, as well as demonstrating a good turn of foot.”
Out of the stakes-winning mare Arealhotlover, Uncle Vinny retires with earnings of $224,500 and a record of 2-1-2 from 12 starts. He will stand as the property of Starlight Racing. For more information, contact Prestige Stallions at 352-895-8910.
