There's about ten highly promising 3yo males who've run two races or less - and most of them have distance friendly pedigrees and big name trainers. There's also a laughably pathetic division of older males - it's a complete joke that a bunch of 2nd time starters are almost as fast as the top older males in the country. If you like ultra promising horses who've run twice or less - this is a glory year. Uncle Mo is ultra seasoned - he's actually run three whole races. |

![]() Would To Honor And Serve Count as a horse with a good distance pedigree? I am not a pedigree expert but wasn't THAS Pedigree one of the reasons people were high on this colt?

![]() As far as some horses who I think perhaps have a lot of talent
Uncle Mo Boys At Tos - If he ever gets back to the track The Factor Brethren Soldat Dialed In Tapizar - If he gets back to the track BTW I am in no way saying that all these horses have promising classic distance pedigrees in my above list. I am just saying that they may be talented. And I am only listing horses off the top of my head so I am sure I left a few horses off my list others may include as potentially talented colts. |

![]() Astrology is a plug and he also has five career starts. DrugS said two career starts or less.
For what it's worth, Astrology's damside was all about precocity as a 2YO. It's going to be interesting to see how much money he burns this year. Last edited by NTamm1215 : 03-04-2011 at 04:11 PM. |

![]() One factor regarding pedigree that has held extremely well over considerable time is the number of points in a horses DP, since dosage was first computed in 1940, only 2 horses have won the Derby with less than 16 points in their DP...Count Fleet in 1943 (4) and Middleground in 1950 (12). Uncle Mo has 8 points, Mucho Macho Man has 12, Rogue Romance 12, Toby's Corner 10 and Gourmet Dinner 12. Not saying these horses can't defy this stat but obviously this is a concern if you are backing one of them, especially Uncle Mo.

Uncle Mo The Factor (only one without a true distance pedigree) Sway Away Machen Brethren and Elite Alex have been overhyped - but both have a distance pedigree - and are lightly raced enough that big development wouldn't surprise anyone. |

![]() Machen has way more natural speed than he's showed in his last two when his genius trainer opted to have him anchored behind very slow paces.
He simply needs to figure out how to break out of the gate - and to be allowed to use just a morsel of his natural speed - and he will be tough to beat in the LA Derby. |

I do disagree with Cal Nation. While he might be a really nice horse, I'm not convinced of that off his debut. |
