Is it true that Uncle Mo's first start of the year is the Tampa Bay Derby?

If so, that is ridiculous. Just retire the horse now.

That's weak s.hit. He might as well burn 10,000,000 vitamin waters in a massive bonfire.

I like it.
And not because I love UM.
He should kill the Tampa Bay Derby and win the Wood for fun. This crop is deep, everyone knows it. He goes 2-2 this year, off of last year he could be 4-5 or less in the Derby. I would use a number of horses trying to beat him going 10f. A lot of the good horses so far, have a lot of early zip. Just like UM, he could get cooked Belamy Road style. Just to close to a fast pace.

it's not even mid-february, and you're already declaring this a deep crop?! gimme a break. some of last years top two year olds haven't even made their first start yet, plenty of 3 yo's have yet to show what they can do. others have yet to show they're not going to maintain last years form. just knock it off already. no one has a good idea yet about this bunch of three year olds. based on what are you saying it's a good crop? works? cause the trainer said so? can't be based on races. can't be based on one top three year old taking on another, it hasn't happened yet.

I dont think Im the only one declaring this a deep crop. These horses at 2 were running faster races then BC Classic horses. And not just UM, THAS is fast. Dialed In is the real deal, and check out some of the horses Vic mentioned in this thread.

i'm just making the contention that it's far, far too soon to say with any certaintly what this group of 3 yo's will be. and again, altho good at two, there are questions to be answered by these horses. not having a race since november makes it hard to judge what these horses are like now, don't you think?

Same race where Street Sense and Super Saver made their 3yo debuts ... the Tampa Bay Derby has benefited big from GP reconfiguring to a 9f track.
