How good is Uncle Mo right now ? Can anyone remember Pletcher(he of the cookie cutter 1.01 works for all his stable) working a horse this quick ?
I hate to key off a horse coming off smashing wins and stretching out for the first time to 1 1/4(ie: Twirling Candy, Bellamy Road etc) who is going to be overbet but ??. If Pletcher sends him out next week and works a mile in 1.33 I'll know he watched the Secreteriat movie.

Yeah, he galloped out 7 in 124 and change.

I think it's going to be a challenge beating him.

Then again, he is cross entering into the Dirt Mile.

Does anyone know if So You Think is coming? I wonder if his narrow loss cost him a trip to the breeders cup?

I'm going to be very surprised if he's in the exacta.
