To me, that isn't exactly a huge endorsement of Mo or constitute "basically" calling him the horse to beat.

"Most likely winner."
"Fair Value favorite."
"Highest percentage likelihood to win."
"Horse to beat."
Is there really any difference? If there is, I don't know it. Perhaps upon his return DrugS will toss me a clue.
And really, it's nothing other than internet talk about one race. Not incredibly important but when you still think U Mo is the likeliest winner 3 weeks out with what is known AND when you categorize people who disagree with you with various cognomens, you can't be totally shocked when you are offered a small taste of what your own cooking.
