Considering we're talking about a guy who is worth multiple BILLIONS of dollars, I'm going to go ahead and say he could affect (or is it effect? Where's Justin?) the pool if that's what he wanted to do.

repole runs quite a risk with these comments. if the horse runs, and is healthy, and something were to go wrong-he'd be knee deep in an investigation worse than life at ten.
and anyone would be expected to scratch their horse if they aren't ready to run-why would anyone need to say so?

If he does hopefully it's decided soon...then maybe Repole can take a break from letting everyone know that if "Mo" was a 100% he'll win easily. Run him or scratch him...enough with the vague interviews. I'm sure there are numerous horses throughout the years who could've won the Derby if they were 100%.

I really thought finding someone less likable than than Ivarone would never happen. And yet along comes a spider.

So what's gonna be said if Mo runs but gives a "Life at Ten" type performance? Will it take another 10 months to sort that out?

The guy's trying to buy part of the Mets, Repole's got to be at least a billionaire, no?

I don’t think Mo is going to run in the Derby. He’s been suspect all year; the GI infection, surgery, Repole’s most recent comments, and now Mike Welsch reports today that “he appears to be a little on the light side”.

Although, his coat looks good.

According to you he just dropped a few billion. Tough day.

He's got a lot of money. Isn't that enough?

I think you think I have a problem with the guy; I don't. I think he's been great for the game, and really don't particularly care how wealthy he is. My point was simply that the man has the means in a $100 million-ish pool to actually change the odds if he really had his mind set on doing it.

Why not focus on the way Repole went about his business learning the game from marginal animals..He wasn't a Jay O and went to Keeneland buying a few 500k yearlings. The man learned the gme from the bottom up before he ventured into he higher end of the market. Give him credit..Asl Satish Sanan if he wished he did it Repole's way?

A-F-F-E-C-T is correct.

Multiple billions is not.
