It was an action-packed year for the 2019 Ohio Two-Year-Old Trotting Colt of the Year, as Action Uncle made the most of his three wins in 2019.

Action Uncle, a son of Uncle Peter and Action Broadway, hit the board in all six of his starts in 2019 for trainer Virgil Morgan Jr. and the Kenneth A. Sommer Trust. Action Uncle earned $225,575.

Action Uncle, an Ohio Triple Crown winner, set a new stakes, track and world record by winning the second division of the Ohio Breeders Championship at thee Delaware County Fair in 1:54. The Ohio Triple Crown consists of the Ohio Sire Stakes Final, the Ohio Breeders Championship and the Ohio State Fair Stakes.

Action Uncle was bred by Kenneth A. Sommer of Sheffield, Ohio.

Trainer Virgil Morgan Jr. trained Action Uncle’s dam Action Broadway.

"It was special to have the mom and break her and then have the first foal and start from scratch with him.”

Morgan says he knew Action Uncle was going to be special.

“He’s very athletic. He’s not the biggest trotter but he was very handy last year and I’m just glad I have him.”

Action Uncle will be honoured at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association and United States Trotting Association’s District 1 Annual Awards Banquet January 18, 2020 at the University Area Marriott in Columbus, Ohio.
