Default PA Derby

Just read that if all goes well for Uncle Mo in the Kings Bishop, his next target will be the PA Derby.

Then the BCC.

Why the PA Derby if they are talking HOY?

maybe if he wins Kings B and the PA Derby impressively then a BCC win, that HOY for me right there especially as we have not had any clear standouts for HOY. Sounds like a nice path if he wins all 3, but he will have to win all 3 to be HOY

Because it's restricted to 3yo's -- has a big purse -- and if he wins the BC Classic -- it probably might be enough to steal HOY depending upon the manner he won it and how the days other races shake out.

Plus it would get 5 other horses and him getting a 9f win would be great for his stallion page.
