To think Mo will win the Classic is to not only think he's the best horse in the country but that he is by far the best. Handicapping what looks like the probables for the race and obviously assuming a fast track with trouble free trips for all, Mo would have to break a lot of rules to win. Not that he can't do it but to say it's gonna be a tall order is an understatement. I spent several hours today watching the Kelso, Wood, Whitney, Woodward, JCGC, Delaware Cap, Beldame, and Goodwood and the more I watch, Havre de Grace stands out to and Mo looks more and more doubtful. The way Game on Dude ran in the Goodwood and believing Baffert will give the same instruction again, it's very hard to see Mo anywhere near the pace, putting away the leaders, and holding off the closers at this distance. I think he's the best horse in the country but he's up against it.
