Why would you diss Uncle Mo like that?

Dear grumpy men of DT...

Geez, do any of you even remember fun?

You guys... most of you are such good handicappers. You're smart and savvy but come on stop being so hateful.

He's excited and it's working, isn't it? We're talking about it, aren't we?

I'm not a fan of the dumbing down of America either BUT he's making Mo accessible. He's playing to the youngest fans which is actually pretty smart.

They're walking advertisements, they're the most excited of us all (people who consider ourselves fans before anything else).

I think it's a really nice thing he's doing and while I wouldn't exactly compose Mos stuff like Mera wrote it I'm all for it.

The first horse who ever had a site and kept a "diary" (that I can recall anyway) was Xcellent, champion and star of NZ racing. It was very cool. Applause to any owner who let's the fans in the inner circle somehow, even if it's just a couple of silly lines about bringing peppermints if you win the contest.

Good for him.

It is fun. I get a kick out of it. I hope I win the contest and get to pet him on the nose.

Doesn't deserve it's own thread, but a nice little story on Repole in todays NY Daily News.
