Uncle Mo's signs of greatness came 6 months ago as a 2-year old, and nobody knows if he is still the same.

I don't see any relevance though to Big Brown's late arrival, but yeah, that is a difference.

I saw enough in the Timely Writer to think that Uncle Mo is still better than those he will, or might be, facing Saturday.
