Uncle Mo faster than BC Classic field on Ragozin

Arazi was handled incompetently, which you already know. He had no shot in the Derby with the way he was brought into the race.

The move he made in the BCJ was more electrifying and was more visually impressive than what Mo did, but it's ridiculous to say he was far more impressive.

Arazi probably didn't want to go 1 1/4 more than any factor, all of his best races were at or near 1 mile. That's just one problem with this argument, how far does Uncle Mo want to go? Not to mention the subtle differences in pace pressures with more mature and seasoned horses.

Arazi's juvie will probably never be matched, consider he ran by Bertrando on his wrong lead like he was standing tied to a pole, that is something no sheets or beyers can illustrate, it was purely freakish in nature.
