Maybe he will draw the one and then they can just scratch today.

So let's see if I have this right:

He's going to enter but may scratch (which screws the owners of the #21 horse).

He's may scratch but could wait until after the betting starts (which can screw some fans who bet him in pools and don't have a chance to change their wagers).

If he does enter and run, he's going to wager enough on him to ensure that he's the favorite (which screws the fans that stuck with his horse after his last and were hoping to get a really good price on him this time).

Yep, sounds like a great, classy guy to me.

The Repole show is getting old. If the horse isn't 100% scratch him and move on.

Actually, it's all about scoring more box seats.

Quote:
Regardless if Uncle Mo starts, Repole and Pletcher also have Gotham Stakes (G3) winner Stay Thirsty, and some speculated outside Pletcher’s barn on Wednesday that Repole only entered Uncle Mo to secure more box seats to America’s most prestigious race.

Repole has rented an infield suite for what many have called his “race day entourage,” and he has acquired the maximum of six track-view boxes (three for each horse) for the race. The connections of each Derby horse receive one complimentary box with the opportunity to purchase an additional two boxes
