So You Think will not finish ahead of Uncle Mo. Good luck to you though. He is a turf horse, a turf horse ONLY.

If he is a turf horse only then why are his connections running him in the Classic?

They are taking a shot at a big purse... It happens all the time, who was the horse who broke down at Monmouth? Was it George Washington? Why did they run him in the Classic? Who was the horse who ran against Bernardini in the JCGC??? I really dont remember him, but why did they run him on dirt? It happens all the time....

If you stopped to think (and look at the past few year's entries in the Classic when run on true dirt) you wouldn't be asking this.

Oh well, that's why they call it gambling. I will not be betting Unclo Mo at 2-1 that is for sure. The only other horse I like at decent odds is Drosselmeyer

I think I know you. Are you from South Weymouth?
Anyway, good luck on SYT and Drosselmeyer. Anyone can win, but they both feel hopeless to me.

They are taking a shot that he's the next Giant's Causeway. This difference is that GC was a monster on grass with a dirt pedigree. They want to see if he'll be marketable as a stallion in North America.
