I don't think he would hit the classic board by any stretch, but Mo was the best, easiest winner I can remember, and many had this juvenile field as above average going in.

A shame that BoysAT is being overlooked for the race he ran. No it wasn't MO quality but it was a very very good race.

Why is it a shame? He was second best, what does he deserve? He wont be much next year....

Shame may be the wrong word. All I can say is I thought they both ran great. Obviously MO ran a hole in the wind.

I agree, he was born in the wrong year it would seem.

They'll both be cozy in their stalls when the Derby rolls around any way.

B@T is D'Funnybone all over again.

That's just silly.

I was just about to say I wouldn't be totally shocked if he tried to roll into the Derby off of the juvie with the way he has been campaigning his stakes horses lately.

He was a dream trip Grade 1 winner, and beat a horrible maiden group while running fast first time Dutrow. Expected, right?
Im really not sure what anyone sees in him, but OK Ill stop for now.

His first race for Hess was really good too. He has done nothing and I repeat nothing wrong at this point. Let's leave it at that.

The horse who beat him first time out has turned into a total plug. I feel bad for Howard, because he was really high on that horse. Talked him up multiple times on the AM Saratoga shows.

I didn't realize that running second in a stake for your debut means the horse that beat you needs to be good in order to take anything positive away from it.

You understand that thinking Boys at Tosconova is not good doesn't really work if you think Uncle Mo is some kind of superstar, right?

No matter what you have to say about Boys at Tosconova, he proved to be better than basically every horse in his 2YO crop besides Uncle Mo. Whether he's going to be a legitimate factor next year remains to be seen. I'm inclined to think that there's a reason why he was handled with kid gloves.

Have I ever said UM is a superstar?

I know what it means, but what if that Stakes group WAS IN NO WAY BETTER THEN A SARATOGA OR BELMONT MAIDEN RACE...In this case, I think thats accurate.

So he's not? I may not be too high on Uncle Mo's prospects in the Derby but his Juvenile was pretty damn impressive.

Im just asking if I said it? I get crazy about horses all the time, Im just curious if I have about UM yet?
I like the Mott better long term, and Pletcher has a nice one that ran second in the Keeneland stakes.

If you're talking about Santiva then yeah, I agree, he's got great credentials for the undercard turf race on Oaks day.

I can't possibly keep up with what you've said about Uncle Mo or any other horse.

I have said really nothing about UM, I think I said he is OK.

Ok...Is that like flank steak? What are you watching
