![]() If So You Think wins this race -- it will add to what has been a brutal on-going drought of consistant top class male dirt horses since Curlin retired.

![]() Not saying he's as good as Curlin, but I really was disappointed when Tizway was scratched/retired. If he races/won, people will say he beat a highly inferior field, still you could make a case that the horse was halfway decent.

![]() I'll watch the race but would rather watch turds hit the water than read another article mentioning Uncle Mo and Havre de Grace. Spare me the polishing of said turds.

![]() I didn't cash a ticket on the Classic. However, I am completely confident in saying running Uncle Mo in it was one of the worst decisions made by top connections in the history of the Breeders' Cup. Rarely will you see a horse with such a scant resume compete in the BCC.
It capped a truly memorable weekend for Todd Pletcher, that's for sure. |

![]() no, it wasn't the race for him. they threw him in at 10f for the first time ever, vs older at the same time. off two races that didn't exactly prepare him for 1 1 /4 miles.
he beat stay thirsty and headache, which i find interesting. repole might want to consider a new trainer. bill mott maybe??

He failed miserably and hindsight is always 20/20. Also the idea that he is less likely to be good next year because he ran an extra 2f's is beyond crazy. |

His King's Bishop effort was terrific but it was at a trip that was ideal for him. The Kelso was another very strong effort but came as a result of setting a very soft pace on a track that favored horses with his style. Now, off of those two races, he is entered in the Classic? He had no seasoning whatsoever to be in that race. |

![]() Did any of you actually watch the BCC yesterday??????
Mo clearly was not getting over that track, that much was obvious. Whether it was because there was more clay in the track like TP said, or there was something to the rumors earlier in the week, I haven't a clue. |

Seasoning had nothing to do with his dismal performance yesterday. Watch the race again, and watch his action during the first 1/2 or 3/4's of the race. I cannot believe it's possible to focus on him running and not come away with the impression something was wrong. Between how hard he was laboring to run, his attempt to veer out on the first turn and his overall action, it was clear that seasoning, nor distance, were going to matter. If he'd have run in the Mile, he'd have got dusted. |

![]() In addition to making a good case for Uncle Mo to be a bet-against, Beyer made a nice call in isolating Hansen as a pick in the Juvenile.
