If you weren't impressed by Uncle Mo then you need to adjust your standards for modern times.

Could be. A nice debut. The 2 yr olds who seem to matter at a distance aren't running holes in the wind at Toga as 2 yr olds so take it for what its worth.

Whether I think he's going to be good going forward is a different issue, his debut was extremely impressive.

....Hard to care about anything Pletcher sends out. He's Rudy Rodriguez in better clothes.

He blew a couple of nice 2 yr olds away in that race. The west point and klaravich colts are both nice and the contessa horse is supposed to be a runner.

Uncle Mo is a freak.

Nice based on what? They were all first time starters.

Hype from connections for all that's worth. It will be fun to keep track of. I think the 1 could be any kind.

Hype from connections isn't worth much to me. West Point likes every horse they own. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Violette to develop a 2 year old.

That's a very tough race to use also-rans for perspective since it was all firsters. The Contessa took CRAZY $, but barely left the gate, so it's hard to point to the hype surrounding him as a positive for Mo.

The wizzard talked the Contessa up and bet him hard to win, if I remember correctly.

Unfortunately I used this horse...that was a lot of money to pay for him.
