I think I found The_Fat_Man. I was watching a replay of the Wood on YouTube, and I noticed this pearl in the comments section:
Uncle Mo has PLENTY of wins. I'm glad another horse had a chance to win. That said, I hope Mo and all the other horses came out sound and will try their best in the Derby. Case closed. Glad I could help.

Looking at this list I just had a thought. Going by names alone, I hope Pants On Fire wins the Derby. Then wins the Preakness and then on to the Triple Crown. This would bring just as much attention to racing as Z did, if not more.
Can you just imagine the names of his offspring? OY! Also, going into the Belmont someone would come up with a song, you know, like Pants On The Ground. It would be on YouTube and then a hit from there. Imagine the fun. Pants would even get his own Blog and Facebook page. Oh gosh, get this one. A big ad campaign like Know Mo. Only this one would be No Pants. You see the potential here? Last edited by trackrat59 : 04-10-2011 at 08:22 AM.

The Factor is dubious going 10f's with his running style in the Derby, but he's the only horse maintaining any resemblance of consistent form that is triple digit figure worthy. Crazy year.

In light of yesterday's developments and Pletcher's comments after the Florida Derby, should odds be posted on R Heat Lightning (not that I would fancy her chances)?

Lets look at the recent devlopments ... * The Louisianna Derby was won by Pants on Fire with Nehro 2nd - one would have been about 30/1 if uncoupled - the other was that type of price. * The Sunland Derby was won by a horse who ran for a Maiden Claiming tag recently at the current SA meet. * The Spiral was won by a true synthetic horse who still has never run on dirt. * The horse who unquestionably ran the best race in the Fla Derby - was trading at 250/1 odds on Betfair. * The Ill Derby was pretty Ill. * The SA Derby saw two morning line favorites scratch due to physical setbacks. The winner, recently won a maiden race. * The Wood Memorial saw a 1/9 favorite go down in defeat. * Some highly regarded horses have fallen to injuries. Lets say the Arkansas Derby is run like truly the definitive Derby prep race - and two horses step up and run great races. A strong performance by The Factor - and just his precense itself in the KY Derby badly hurts Sheckleford's Derby chances. Couple that with a physical setback for Midnight Interlude - and all of a sudden you could be back at 5% again - or possibly even under. It's a lot easier and less tricky doing these fair value % lines for actual races than it is for this - that's for sure. You're dealing with lightly raced 3yo's - at a time when trainers don't want to run their good horses. Hell, they don't even want to put the good 3yo's through halfway brisk workouts. I think Uncle Mo has what - two easy workouts of 5f - and none beyond that this year. Certainly though - your opinion proved right so far.
