Where is your proof of this?

I want links, more links, statements from vets, photos, DNA, etc.

Until then, that's just all unicorns to me.

How much will he be standing stud for?

Sadly that's what they turned this whole thing into. He should have just taken him out of consideration yesterday prior to entries being taken as it was pretty apparent the horse wasn't near 100% the entire week. The whole fiasco has been a joke since the Wood.

This really sucks

Said yesterday by me

Oh. I don't normally read your posts, sorry.

I guess I really have lost my edge though, if I'm making really lame cracks like that.

It's my work, I tell you.

Cripples beget cripples IC.

Not necessarily on Uncly Mo, but can anybody remember the last time a horse won the Derby without even making a single start as a 2YO?

Apollo in 1882.

New quote

“I hope it’s an easy decision where all four of them say, ‘Let’s go,’ or all four say, ‘No go,’” he said. “… If Todd says no, I say no. If Todd says yes, I say yes. If three vets say yes and Todd says no, I say no.

Got that fools!

How screwed is Johnny V being in the hip pocket of this camp, first R Heat Lightening out right before the Oaks, and now about to lose Uncle Mo, he'd probably do better freelancing. :rolleyes:

While it will be unfortunate if JV is left watching from the jock's room on Sat., he has not exactly been made a pauper by his association with Todd. I don't believe he has a 'contract" with Pletcher, he is freelance.

Excerpt:

But Baffert still couldn't resist saying a few things people may deem controversial, including that he isn't quite buying the mysterious gastrointestinal illness that has supposedly stricken Uncle Mo in recent weeks. Uncle Mo, the Todd Pletcher-trained colt who was an undefeated juvenile champion, is still not guaranteed to run Saturday.

"Uncle Mo looks fantastic out there to me," Baffert said. "He's the best horse in the race. I don't care what rumors you hear. You can't throw him out. He's looked great to me. Everyone is talking about him being 50/50. I think [owner Mike Repole] is just trying to build a price for himself because it sounds like he likes to gamble. He's going to be dangerous. I don't think it's some [gastrointestinal issue], I think he just got tired at the Wood [Memorial]. From what I've seen visually, there is nothing there that tells me the horse isn't ready to run. I'm not buying that crap. He's just trying to steal this race."

How will Bob feel when he scratches tomorrow

Sounds like Bob is trying to jack up his price on Midnight Interlude.

Drama.

JFC.

This is the strangest Derby I can remember.

Indeed. Anyone want some popcorn? Or maybe some Pirate's Booty?

FFS just scratch the damned horse already.
