I can launch into a fifteen page diatribe as to why and how they are wrong.
He's War Pass II . . . Brilliant as a juvenile and good as an early three-year-old, but I'll be surprised if he's a factor in May.

That is very possible, that he'll fall apart and be retired before the Derby.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with him being distance challenged or not.

If he's in this form come the TC, it's freakin over man. Game over!

I liked War Pass a lot... but was certain he wouldn't stretch past 8.5. I think Uncle Mo will get the 9F-10F distances just fine. It's a matter whether he can continue to move forward over the next 6 months. On the Thorographs he will have run a 0, 0, and likely a -1 or better; that kind of start to a career often indicates a move back rather than forward. If he doesn't, they're all running for second in the Kentucky Derby.
