What's to hate about Repole? He's a self made millionaire off a great product, from Queens, and loves to be a racehorse owner- from the nickel claimer right on up to Uncle Mo. Remember, Uncle Mo was his first graded stakes winner, it's not like he's some monster owner. I mean seriously, the horses he ran against today were terrible. I personally wanted to see him win by a pole and have a real horse as the Derby favorite. With him potentially not being a 10F horse we could see another Mine That Bird type horse win, how exactly is that a good thing?

For full disclosure, I did not bet the race because I couldn't find a viable alternative. My buddy was looking for suggestions and I told him to bet against the showjumpers and it damn near paid off.

Honestly, does everybody just hate New Yorkers? I get that sense around KY sometimes.

Not to mention -- he is one of the guys out there really supporting retirement and getting people involved any way they can.

And you have to be a seriously cool person to make Pletcher crack that robotic armour...

I had woo-hooed in another thread which was for Toby's Corner, but I wish Mo put on the show he did in the BC Juvenile. I guess the bright side is we won't be reading articles about how he is going to bounce to the moon in the Derby.

Well said. I don't get why people don't like the guy.
