That's pretty absurd.
The obvious reason why no one wanted to challenge Uncle Mo in the early stages is because - by doing so - your chances of finishing 2nd diminsh greatly.
The whole purpose of allowing the farce of a race to go - was so that Gulfstream can stick it up Tampa Bay Downs ass. Through manuvering - Gulfstream created worthless races for both Dialed In and Uncle Mo to prevent them from running in the Tampa Derby. The result - some 16K claimer last out - comes within a neck of winning the Tampa Derby.
You really think Gulfstream cares that Uncle Mo won? Why? They wanted to pay out a minus show pool? They wanted to make 'The Timely Writer' an important prep race in the years to come?
