When I breezed him before, it was an astonishing workout, and we went out there very confident in Mo Town and he was magnificent.”

“As a top juvenile, Grade 1 winner and exceptional looking son of super sire Uncle Mo, we are very excited to stand Mo Town here at Ashford,” said Dermot Ryan, “Uncle Mo has had yet another incredible year both on the racetrack and in the sales ring, so to stand one of his most impressive sons, who is very much in the mold of his sire, is great. Mo Town is at the farm and available for inspection, I would encourage everyone to come out to Ashford and see him for themselves.”

Mo Town will stand for $12,500 in 2019.
