I agree, he was born in the wrong year it would seem.

They'll both be cozy in their stalls when the Derby rolls around any way.

He was a dream trip Grade 1 winner, and beat a horrible maiden group while running fast first time Dutrow. Expected, right?
Im really not sure what anyone sees in him, but OK Ill stop for now.

His first race for Hess was really good too. He has done nothing and I repeat nothing wrong at this point. Let's leave it at that.

The horse who beat him first time out has turned into a total plug. I feel bad for Howard, because he was really high on that horse. Talked him up multiple times on the AM Saratoga shows.

I didn't realize that running second in a stake for your debut means the horse that beat you needs to be good in order to take anything positive away from it.

You understand that thinking Boys at Tosconova is not good doesn't really work if you think Uncle Mo is some kind of superstar, right?

No matter what you have to say about Boys at Tosconova, he proved to be better than basically every horse in his 2YO crop besides Uncle Mo. Whether he's going to be a legitimate factor next year remains to be seen. I'm inclined to think that there's a reason why he was handled with kid gloves.

Have I ever said UM is a superstar?

So he's not? I may not be too high on Uncle Mo's prospects in the Derby but his Juvenile was pretty damn impressive.

I was just about to say I wouldn't be totally shocked if he tried to roll into the Derby off of the juvie with the way he has been campaigning his stakes horses lately.
