I'm not sure I would be betting them, as they would be favored, but I don't know that I would be betting against them.

Anyone heard if Twirling Candy is still shipping in?

Or did he get scared off by that monster performance in the Wood?

Maybe a mile is better for Uncle Mo. That being said I don't see how any of the horses you mentioned would be up against it if they faced him in the Met. As hot as pletchers been I expected Mo to run his very best race.

The other 2yo have grown up and Mo may have just matured a little quicker early on, the Indian Charlies are generally precoscious. Let's see how the rest of his 3yo season ends up before we get crazy talking about him beating older horses when he was life and death to hold Norman Absobason, or whatever that horses name is for 3rd
