So the guy is boasting about his horse, big deal. I wish I had that kind of money to back up that kind of threat.

It's funny and all, and maybe it was said in gest, but it seems contrary to what you would actually want...who cares if his horse is the favorite or not? Why would you even say you would bet more money on your horse to purposely lower the price?

Frankly, it makes me nervous on the horse. It's such dramatic overhype that it seems only designed to draw more attention because it defies all other logic. For comparison's sake, it's the opposite of Kiaran McLaughlin when he has a horse ready to go...overall, the comment on its own is curious and actually has me leaning against.

I was using Uncle Mo in the win column until I saw him work today, now he won't be on a single ticket of mine.

I think that perhaps people have a tendency to ridiculously over-analyze things.

In this case, it's both with what Repole said, and with an easy 5f workout in the slop.
