Default Mike Repole says....

"I think Uncle Mo would beat Frankel at a mile on dirt." That elicited quite a response from the European reporters at Churchill Downs.

If Frankel ran in the Kelso he would have been up the track.

In a match-up between Repole and Euro horse racing media ... I would take this guy and the points...




Someone should tell the Euro's that Frankel would have most likely failed in last years Dirt Mile against dog-biscuit Dakota Phone. But hey, he might not ever lose a turf mile against our grass bums.

Uncle Mo would be about 100 times more likely to beat Frankel going on turf than Frankel would be to beat Mo on dirt.

Boys and their toys.

I think it's funny and hey at least he's excited and adds a much-needed dimension to the game.

Good for him.

Good luck to his kids (but especially Stay Thirsty).
