Gutless guys usually don't sell compnies they started
for half a billion dollars.

Maybe he got soft in his old age?

Perfect trip setups where you run your final quarter faster than your first quarter do little to give a 3YO the seasoning to get toughened up for the Triple Crown races.

Uncle Mo is a SELL

Uncle Mo is a SELL

Agreed but who is so toughened up that is going to beat him?

How about Dialed In who was back in last in a TOTALLY paceless race. He ran a solid race to get 2nd under those circumstances.

I wasn't actually referring to you specifically with my previous post, but after going back to see why you reacted that way to my post, it's clear how you would think that my post was aimed directly at you.

Where is his race that is fast enough to win a typical Derby. Assuming Mo doesnt make the race its wide open but save that possiblity he is light years ahead of this group. He has been around two turns and has run very fast, now take into account he is relaxed enough to dwell for a half a mile and then sprint off suggests to me at least some quality.

DrugS is all hot in the panties about Machen(be it 70/1) because in his second start he was able blister a final panel in 24 after following the herd for 3/4's in 1.15ish.

I didn't like anything about Machen's second start.

Machen won his debut while up very close to the pace going 6fs - he got a very fast number... 94 Beyer with a sweeping 4-wide far turn move. Thoro-Graph actually has that race faster than any of Uncle Mo's races.

So, what does Neil Howard do next? He tries to transform this horse into a deep closing router ... Freddy, Machen has attempted to close into the teeth of two BRUTALLY slow paced route races in his two most recent attempts.

When Dialed In runs 2nd closing - finishing ahead of true dog biscuits - against a very slow pace... people are pissing themselves about how great he ran.

When Machen attempts to rally wide into painfully slow fractions - and fails - it's like 'oh, he really sucks' I picked Mucho Macho Man to win that race and gave Machen little chance. His defeat did nothing but clear the tards off his bandwagon.

Yes - it was very impressive how Dialed In was able to outfinish 3rd place finisher Valerius ... even though Valerius was head and head with him the whole way for about the first 7fs.

Isnt the issue with Dialed In as is many of the pretenders can Zito get him to go forward in the next 60 days. If they stay sound, get the right cocktails, and train forward at least 7 would have a decent shot. Why Machen at 70/1 instead of Comma at 80/1?

I wouldn't touch Comma in a future book right now because he might be taken off of the Derby Trail after his last two placings.

He was a length behind Valerius after 6f then outfinished him by 4 solid lengths. Given the pace scenario in that race he had ZERO chance to beat his older stablemate. This race WAS solid and he proved it today.
