I think Mo will be deadly at 10f. Then again, I've been without Internet access for over two days now, and as far as I know, Mo might have been retired by now.

If he doesn't go in the Classic he probably won't be in the BC period (he's not eligible).

However, FD and FG faced MUCH MUCH MUCH better horses than anything that might be in the gate come this years BCC.

I don't know about no Beyers, but Uncle Mo's winning type performance has restored my faith in horse racing.

The current odds on the Wynn website show Uncle Mo at 50 - 1. I'm not a fan of future bets but that looks like value to me. If they can get him back to anywhere near the horse that ran last year in the BC the big question will be 10 panels but if he just makes it to the starting gate he'll be less than 10 -1.
William Hill has Uncle Mo future posted at 8 - 1 for the BC Classics the same as Tizway. His stable mate Stay Thirsty is the shortest price at 7 - 1. They offered up one Euro, Await The Dawn (10-1), a son of Giant's Causeway out of a Dixieland Band mare owned by Coolmore, who has 5 wins in 7 starts, looks to be a 10 furlong specialist and the ATR website indicates his next propable start to be in the QEII, a one mile group 1 at Ascot on October 15. http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en...p-Classic.html

The triple crown lead-in was comedy unlike no other -- the triple crown series was comedy (first-time dirt wins the KY Derby, Shakleford the Preakness, Ruler on Ice the Belmont -- and Animal Kingdom was easily the star of that series) The Haskell was so freaking slow -- that Quiet Giant ran a faster number on the card winning some garbage stake race. I think the Haskell got the 3rd highest Beyer of the days four route races ... only a cheap starter alw race was somehow slower than the Haskell among the routes. Stay Thirsty was the only horse in the Travers who didn't run like a complete pig. This group is almost as slow as the Sea Hero group from 1993. The Breeders Cup Juveniles are being won with record or near record speed figures every year. Stevie Wonderboy's win was smoking fast, Street Sense's win was smoking fast, War Pass's win was smoking fast, Uncle Mo's win was smoking fast. Shame that only Street Sense held it together. All of them ran BC Juvie figures that would have drowned Arazi.

Also, as pathetic as the older horses are, I'm having trouble seeing Stay Thirsty beating the top ones that are in training, as of now.

The older males are fine as long as the big two stay healthy.
The older females are fine as long as the big two stay healthy. To Honor and Serve, Uncle Mo, and The Factor all looked good last week at least. It's Stay Thirsty's division for now

Three year old Grade 1
No three year old colts have won more than one Grade 1 race. It's Tricky, a filly, has won two Grade 1 stakes.

They should give Uncle Mo champion three year old honors for his two grade one wins as a two year old.

Of course, those same two 3yos were last and second last in the BC Classic in their next start. Kissin Kris was able to get 3rd place to save some face for the 3yo crop at least.
