If I had only heard about Uncle Mo and had never seen him run and this was my first time, I would be wondering what all the hype was about. This race, if you want to call it that, was not impressive at all. I don't care that he came home under 23 seconds. What else was he supposed to do after those first three fractions. Fortunately for Pletcher, this horse's 2yo form was so far beyond his classmates that he doesn't even need to improve on it to dominate this group. This was a good workout and nothing more. Not impressed at all.
