Default Repole Talks Disclosure, Says 'Mo is Sound

“I’m very involved with St. Johns' basketball this year and was in the locker room after a game. One guy had an ice pack on his ankle, one guy had an ice pack on his knee, and others had them on their shoulder and elbow. When you talk about full disclosure, first off, we don’t have a governing body, which is embarrassing, and if we did, I don’t know if you really want full disclosure. If there ever is full disclosure I can tell you that Mike Repole will be the first one online and will give you every medical record from weanling to 3-year-old of Stay Thirsty and Uncle Mo under one condition: all other 18 owners that are going to enter in the Kentucky Derby do the same thing. You start to get into territory I don’t think the sport really wants to get into.

He couldn't be more right about that last line.

Full Disclosure is absolutely insane.

I liked this last line too.

Of course he is 100% right, it is hilarious that people are criticizing him. Just think of what full disclosure would do to the claiming game.

There will never be "full disclosure" because people just won't report everything and how exactly could you possibly catch them?

Faulty information is far worse than no information. Plus I think 98% of the information will be fairly useless anyway.

I thank Mr. Repole for his support of St. John's basketball.

Uncle Mo's name should be changed to Pin-Fired...

He doesn't have to disclose.

The problem is when Leroi shows up in Bar shoes for the BC and you don't find out until right before the race. That's the disclosure bettors demand.
