Bio
Bye Bye Melvin needed four starts to earn his first career win, but the Uncle Mo colt did so impressively in his final race as a juvenile when he rolled to an 8 ¼-length romp in a 1 1/16-mile turf race at Tampa Bay Downs. He followed with a front-running, half-length victory going a mile on the grass at Tampa in an allowance/optional claiming race in January in his 3-year-old bow.

Tested on the main track on the Triple Crown trail, Bye Bye Melvin was well beaten in the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby. Two starts later back on the grass, Bye Bye Melvin finished second in the Jersey Derby July 26 at Monmouth Park.
Bye Bye Melvin earned a breakthrough stakes win Aug. 29 at Saratoga Race Course in the Grade 3 Saranac Stakes, when he closed willingly in the stretch to catch Don Juan Kitten in the final strides.
Out of Grade 1 winner Karlovy Vary, by Dynaformer, Bye Bye Melvin is a half-brother to multiple graded stakes winner Mean Mary.
