In related news, Stay Thirsty was diagnosed as being a pig but is still pointed to the Belmont.

This is good news about Uncle Mo. Back to Pletcher beginning August. First race early September, next early October, then Breeders' Cup. They've kept him in light work, he should get right back to it, if he doesn't have any other problems.

Undoubtedly. You should go ahead and carve that schedule in stone.

Anyone going to bring up Devil May Care's liver issues and subsequent death?

If he has equine hepatitis, what does that mean for his stud career?

Nothing. It's not a contagious hepatitis.

I've been thinking of her ever since they discussed his symptoms before the Derby. It's pretty ambitious to focus on anything other than his health right now.

As soon as they said "an elevated enzyme" I thought Oh gawd No!

There is no way that this colt races again, and while I know nothing about these things, I fear that the question of his survival at all is up in the air.

I sincerely pray for his recovery.

I mean he's not Citation but surely he's better than a lot of them no?

He's not better than the horses he rates to run against as he is always overambitiously placed.

I know, I was just venturing a guess. I think, and it's just a guess, that Nick was making a joke with his post.

But Stay Thirsty sucks.

My post was certainly tongue in cheek.

I didn't mean to take anything away from the groundbreaking Uncle Mo news. Now at least they'll have an ironclad reason to retire him in a month and announce where he's going to stand for $7,500.

Stay Thirsty is a very average horse whose high profile trainer and owner have garnered him respect and attention that his racing prowess never warranted.
