I'm not making excuses for Pletcher. Uncle Mo is a fantastic horse, but you really have to hope a Gourmet Dinner or Mucho Macho Man wins the Derby and horses like Mo and others being campaigned similiarly come up short in the stretch at the Derby.

So funny you say that. Told Andy over the weekend that I hoped Gourmet Dinner or some other lesser light with maybe 15 starts going in would win the Derby to quash the nonsensical 'fresh horse for the Derby' approach.
