Scratch of Uncle Mo made official
I love dialed in. Im concerned about Mo. Im trying to build a fri too the derby double and pk3. If they scratch Mo, will you get the favorite or will it give you a no bet? Im assuming you will get the favorite but I still want to use Mo because like a fool I belive them when they say if hes 100% its a go. The way he looked om the track thur he looked ready.

There is a 9:30a press briefing Friday, and the widespread expectation is that Uncle Mo will be scratched at that point. I'll find out this morning about rules regarding refunds versus 'post time favorite' on the two day wagers should Mo only scratch Saturday.
UPDATE: Scratch made official. Briefing and Q&A at 8:45.

LOL, someone at Thoroughbred Times took a photo of the chimney over Pletcher's barn with "White smoke means Repole has reached a decision on whether Uncle Mo will run"

They should have done the right thing and took him out of consideration before the entries were taken. Hopefully the 8:45 briefing will bring an end to the daily Repole dog and pony show.

Steve hit the nail on the head.
I have three riding horses and don't make a living in the horse business but I do have an opinion as a horse owner. Based on what Mo has been through with surgery and the GI infection, I don't see how he can be at 100% just yet. It's going to take a few months to get ALL of his strength back and really be back to being himself. He can look like he's at 100% but it's a stamina issue at this point. Honestly, if one of my horses had Mo's rap sheet I would be letting him rest in the pasture for several months. Mo looks good and he's galloping around and appears to be a hand full because he wants to run, he's a Thoroughbred. He's clearly not ready yet to run the race of his life tomorrow. If I need 3 vets to determine if my horse is sound and ready to go, Derby or no Derby, something is up. ** Glad to see him scratch. Hopefully we will see Mo running and winning another day**

Kind of unfair of Todd and Repole to enter given it was a virtual certainty he was going to scratch. Not that I care about Sway Away but he should have had the shot to run.

Thanks Steve. I agree, it's a piss poor move by all of the connections. I can now understand why people are not a fan of Repole. It appears he has tried and succeeded to a point, to make Derby Week about him.
