If he is right he is easy. All this talk about the Havre de Grace is silly. Its Mo or Flat Out. Check out HDG pp's. She runs the same solid race every time. All the sudden she jumps up in the Woodward. Feels like that number is a bit high to make Flat Outs second place finish fit. Her 10f race against Blind Luck was not her best, so why is she so strong against Mo and Flat Out. She is a total toss for me on the win end. Mo is the only horse that's brilliant, and hopefully he is doing well enough to show it.

the only chink in his armor that i can possibly see is conditioning, but he is training spectacularly.

I read on Twitter according to those clocking works, that he was crossfiring either Sunday or yesterday, and never came out of the barn this morning -

@bradblanks Mo worked subpar, looked off behind & hasn't been back to gallop since


My money is on scratching

I'm not off Mo entirely, if he was in the mile I would be all over him. I just don't like the idea of him stretching out at such a short price.

Great Avatar! My write-in candidate was the ice-cream crapping Taco.
Oh, and this is bad news for 'Mo...

Prayer for Relief to be scratched from Classic. A case of the "One Hole Flu"?

I agree on Prayer for Relief, but the scratch now puts Flat Out, who I had thought was the most likely winner, into the one hole.
