Uncle Mo was a monsterous talent last year. He wasn't lucky, or dressed up, but just a flat out brilliant racehorse. Maybe he isn't anymore....but I don't see how that's a good thing. We need as many truly good horses as we can get.

Anyone that didn't see that Uncle Mo was the real deal last year has no idea how to evaluate a racehorse. The game is worse, not better, if he is no longer that kind of talent.

While I agree, I think it's wayyy premature to say he's dropped off.
