Other than Mo, I think the more talented runners have revealed themselves later, rather than earlier.

Maybe the Derby isn't going to be a stellar race, but the races later on in the fall, and maybe even into next year, those could be very nice.

To Honor and Serve will beat Uncle Mo like a rented mule in the Derby.

Maybe but he better get a lot faster fast. To date this looks like the Big Brown Derby, a bunch of crap chasing the one fast colt.

No offense intended, but that is one of the most ridiculous opinions posted on DT this year.

You are not serious, right?

I don't like Uncle Mo in the Derby. I do like To Honor and Serve until I see otherwise. Yes I'm serious.

At this point, for THAS to win the derby, it would take a scenario identical to the 1980 Woodward stakes, won by Spectacular Bid.

Why do you like To Honor And Serve so much?

His first race this year was a clunker. His races last year were very very good and I think he'll move forward. I really like him to run a 1st or 2nd on Sunday and then well in the Derby if things go well...Obviously Uncle Mo has done nothing wrong. But the Derby is a different animal and 10 furlongs is the equilizer.

How can anyone not love his perfect trip wins last year? Who didn't love how he got a perfect trip to beat Mucho Macho Man, who had a mediocre trip, in the Remsen, especially given how Mucho Macho Man has wowed everyone this year?

But, look at it this way, at least he's better than Stay Thirsty.

Trip or no trip, he wasn't slow last year. His first race back admittedly stunk.

I'm not even sure of that, him being better than ST.

Not like that matters, of course.
