The draw is public and cant be and Pletcher cant control how other trainers instruct their riders but he can say something to track officials and they can influence trainers and jockeys. Try by denying stable applications, not letting jockeys ride there, writing horses out of races etc etc. Theres plenty of things tracks can do to influence races

War Pass had a better comeback race in his one turn mile....

If this horse does not come to New York and instead stays in Florida I'm guessing something is wrong.

He really built a good bottom in this paid public work out. A good quarter horse would have given him trouble, since that's all it was.

Couldn't possibly disagree more with you on this one.

War Pass was more loose on the lead in his comeback - faced even worse competition if you can believe that - and ran at a much, much more efficent rate of speed for producing a good final time.

N1X for 3yo fillies: 46.55 half mile - 1:37.07 final time
War Pass: 46.72 half mile - 1:36.38 final time

War Pass ran his final quarter mile in 24.48 and won "driving" according to the chart... though it probably should have been labeled ridden out.

I doubt War Pass was capable of being able to run as slowly as Uncle Mo did for the first 6fs yesterday.

I must have missed the Uncle Mo retirement press release. Just brilliant criticizing the bazillionaire who's new to the racing game and looking to spend dough. From reading some comments here, you'd think Repole is some combination of Mike Gill and Mr. Burns or something.

Since you seem so enamored with him, what is it exactly you like so much? Maybe I'm missing something.

I've yet to really see anyone say anything other than he is spending money.

[slotdirt]

He's spending boatloads of cash, he's a New Yorker, he seems to actually care about the welfare of his horses, and most importantly, is a huge St. John's guy. Oh, and he hates the Yankees. So what if he has some bravado?

This is insane, Uncle Mo simply towered over the field, other trainers were running for minor shares and they approached the race thusly, challenging him early was seen as suicidal. Did anyone really expect this to be a tough race for Uncle Mo?

It's a dark day when somerfrost is a voice of reason.

I put in 50 cents on the nice horseys to watch them go up and down. That Uncle Mo is a meany
