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?

I dont think its absurd. It was a prerequisite set by Pletcher for his horse to stay in S Fla, my horse has it his own way for 3/4s ie: he walks, then they can take a run at him after the race is all but over.

So if someone beat Uncle Mo today, what were the consequences?

Water torture?

Uh huh.

If Pletcher can control how other trainers are to instruct their riders and other riders are to ride their opposing mounts ... why did he not order the post positions re-drawn after Uncle Mo drew the rail?

The draw is public and cant be and Pletcher cant control how other trainers instruct their riders but he can say something to track officials and they can influence trainers and jockeys. Try by denying stable applications, not letting jockeys ride there, writing horses out of races etc etc. Theres plenty of things tracks can do to influence races

Make it stop.

War Pass had a better comeback race in his one turn mile....

If this horse does not come to New York and instead stays in Florida I'm guessing something is wrong.

This is insane, Uncle Mo simply towered over the field, other trainers were running for minor shares and they approached the race thusly, challenging him early was seen as suicidal. Did anyone really expect this to be a tough race for Uncle Mo?

It's a dark day when somerfrost is a voice of reason.

I put in 50 cents on the nice horseys to watch them go up and down. That Uncle Mo is a meany

If I recall correctly, Derek Ryan believes in this theory.

[NTamm1215]

Instead of trying to convince trainers how to have their horses run in the Timely Writer the management at GP probably offered to muck their stalls just for getting four horses to line up against Uncle Mo.

F-

The connections should be banned for life. If the sport fails for kicking out the hundred or so cowards ruining the sport then so be it.

[DaTruth]

Gulfstream should have classed up the race by making it an invitational.

Another question is, what does Pletcher and GP say to the owners of this horse. Hey we are going to cost you over a 100gs in cash so we can stick it to TB Downs and in the process we are going to let some cheap stand ins run your horse down in the process??

I can't believe you're actually serious. I thought this was all a joke.

Huh?

Pletcher's motives for wanting the race and Gulfstream Park's motives for writing the race are not the same.
