Awesome horse though. His derby was one of the most impressive losing performances I remember ever seeing.
I think Macho Uno was a much better horse than most people realize too. He seemed to have some mental issues, but I seem to remember that his trainer was insanely cold for about 2-3 years and finally got fired for not being able to win anything with a lot of nice stock.

He had my weight of my future book bet as well. Was my first trip to Vegas and I was determined to bet a real KY Derby futures bet (not the parimutuel crap Churchill offers) and it was the weekend Drugs mentioned, where he won an N1X only a tick slower than Point Given- I think that was the race now known as the Robert Lewis(?) Was like 50-1 or something. Still, he ran amazing in that Derby to have the lead at the 3/16ths pole. He was an awesome horse. Too bad he sucks as a sire.
