I hope the television media pays attention to this. Would be interesting to see how much would it take to make Uncle Mo the favorite.But then he says he has his exacta....corrects himself and says exacta box.....Apparently either not overly confident or has Stay Thirsty gotten that much better in his eyes?

He is a nice horse-the problem is that the Derby is 1 1/4. If it was 1 1/16-1 1/8 I would be all over him. On brightside for the closers,he will be pushing that pace out front

Stay Thirsty has been dreadful this year and Uncle Mo looks the fragile sort at an underlay price. Hard to use either in any shape.

For what it's worth both Migliore and Stevens liked Stay Thirty today better than Mo, thought Mo was not as strong.

He sure was dreadful in the Florida Derby, but how was he dreadful in the Gotham? He beat Toby's Corner easily that day.............

More likely, an over-zealous owner with deep pockets blowing hot air. Wouldn't be the first time this happened in horse racing. Nothing to see here.
