I don't know...he never really beat anything other than a few bad or crippled up horses. Have any of the horses he beat as a juvenile done anything since, other than win a stakes race at Charles Town last week? I doubt he could've beaten Kantharos if that horse stayed sound.

He would have lapped Kantharos.

I love all the people that didn't understand how massively talented Uncle Mo was last year thinking somehow they were right to underrate him because he got sick.

The Uncle Mo of last year would have crushed this year's 3YO crop.

Look BTW everyone knows and respects your handicapping prowess and the work you do...but what makes you think he'd lap Kantharos?

Because Kantharos was slow and Uncle Mo was fast. It does get much simpler than that.

So there was no chance of Kantharos getting better with the added maturity? He was done racing before Uncle Mo ever went to the post...2yos do improve rapidly with physical development as the year goes on sometimes no? But seriously what do you think Uncle Mo beat as a 2 YO?
