Class President (Uncle Mo), scratched from the GI Toyota Blue Grass S. and subsequently taken off the Triple Crown trail with bone bruising, is nearing a return to training.Campaigned in partnership by WinStar Farm, First Go Racing and CHC, Inc. and trained by Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, Class President was an ultra-game nose winner in his first attempt around two turns when last seen in the GII Rebel S. at Oaklawn Park Mar. 1.He followed a smart debut victory at a one-turn mile at Gulfstream Park Dec. 27 with a second-place finish in the seven-furlong Swale S. Jan. 31.“He's doing really well,” WinStar Farm's Elliott Walden said. “He looks great, no surgeries were needed. Just turnout and he's about at the end of that. Gonna start back probably within two weeks.”Walden continued, “We're kinda in a spot where he wasn't gonna make it back for the end of the year, so there wasn't a whole lot of pressure on time. He's just getting ready to start back in training with an expectation of getting to Florida this winter and regrouping at four.”One of 65 graded winners for the late, great leading sire Uncle Mo, the WinStar Farm-bred Class President was produced by the MSW & GSP Quality Road mare Top Quality. She brought $335,000 from WinStar at the 2019 Keeneland January sale and is also responsible for the stakes-placed duo of American Speed (More Than Ready) and Keepsake (Into Mischief); and the ill-fated flashy debut winner Pastor T (Into Mischief).“He's a horse that we're really excited about getting back,” Walden said. “Being a son of Uncle Mo, and the fact he's a sire of sires, he's an exciting prospect for us at WinStar.”What a horse race! In a battle to the wire, a determined CLASS PRESIDENT repelled SILENT TACTIC to earn 50 Kentucky Derby points in the G2 Rebel and put himself on the leaderboard! Todd Pletcher trains the son of Uncle Mo and @ljlmvel was aboard. #TwinSpiresReplay pic.twitter.com/eyMJK4w0f3— TwinSpires Racing (@TwinSpires) March 1, 2026The post Sidelined Since Rebel Victory, Class President Nearing Return to Training appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
