That camp is fueling the fire in regard to the Uncle Mo guessing game.

Some secret surgery that was a horribly kept secret this winter if true - grabbing the quarter at the start - now he had the sh!ts.

I'd buy this more if he put in a classic 'non-effort' - but I don't think he did.

You think of non-effort - you think of like Afleet Alex in the Rebel when he got beat a football field with no visable excuse - they said lung infection and he was back training right away.

Secretariat ran a Ragozin of 12 in the Wood Memorial - he ran a Ragozin of just 11 in his 3yo comeback race. He went from being 2yo Horse of the Year to six months later - having the Churchill racing Sec. assign Sham highweight over him in the Ky Derby Mythical Handicap weight assignments.... an impossible fall from grace - with a magical form turnaround coming from taking care of a tooth abcess.

How can anyone put Uncle Mo 3rd or 4th on their exotic tickets? How can anyone playing exotics not use him in the win slot?

Sounds like he has to step up the use of the 150$ gastoguard tube
