I also think it might be a bit premature to award Uncle Mo BC Juvy winner. He's very talented and the division is weak at the moment, but if he gets hooked early, that last 1/16th, with his first try going two turns might be interesting.

I think him getting hooked is a non sequitur here. He went pretty fast early the other day but was well within himself. If someone else guns for the lead, I just don't see him having a problem rating back a little bit.
He also finishes strongly. His first two races remind me of Barbaro's first two races as well.
My favorite type of horse is one that has great early speed and then can pull away late.
Normally I would hate backing a horse with two starts in the BC, but when you have a really talented horse going up against a pretty poor division, well, that's an exception.
Much like Indian Blessing and Brocco.
Though with Brocco I was taking a big stand against the hot Eastern horse that year.
