  • Floridaf · Animal Kingdom looked good in his return. He did not face the toughest of fields, but the race was certainly a nice stepping stone. I am eager to see how it goes from here. · 457 days ago ·

  • RyanBrady · Sunrise Smarty is my pick in this race, because he is not "The Highweight", and his early speed on the Aqueduct racetrack (Main or Inner) is as dangerous as they come. If Todd Pletcher leaves one of his in the race rather than opting for The Grade 1 Cigar Mile on Saturday then they will be the ones to beat on paper. One of the nicer editions of this race in recent years. · 545 days ago ·

This week Scott Dick, of Hoosier State of Mind, teams up with Joe DePaolo, of Fast Times at Belmont Park, to ask the the Uncle Mo question ... Use 'Em? Or Lose 'Em? Read More
  • KyOaksRunner · I loved this, it's such a good format and the questions asked and answered were really informative and insightful! I agree with Scott on this one. Uncle Mo's lack of foundation this year worries me, but not his pedigree. I'll be rooting for him in the Classic. · 567 days ago ·

  • GoTexas · Oh yeah....GO MO! I have to laugh. Thinking back to those dark times when Mo was in 'rehab' at WinStar. I was following Mo's status as much as I could on Facebook. There were LOTS of messages every day from lots of people just wanting to know how he was doing. Every now and then we'd get an update or, better yet, a VIDEO of our boy. I think I made a comment one time about wondering the the WS folk had any idea what they were getting when they had 'MO in the house'. So many fans just love this colt (me too!). We've always considered him a champ! · 575 days ago ·

  • CauseForConcern · DeadHeat, thanks for the acknowledgement. I didn't expect many, if any, to support my choice. THAS and ST met once, in the Florida Derby, and THAS was the better in that race(although a ways back). His time in this last race was 2 seconds faster than when he ran in the Florida Derby(although different tracks). I do believe he's on the upswing, but, then again, he can prove me wrong in the Pa Derby. Looks like that race could shape up to be a good one, with Uncle Mo possibly committing. · 630 days ago ·

Time for Mike Repole to step up as a sportsman. Keep Uncle Mo and training and prove that you are the sportsman you claim to be.Read More

  • AmbitiousD · Mo really ran his heart out as if almost telling his owner he wanted to keep racing. I truly hope Repole doesn't retire Mo. These horses are athletes and warriors and in any major sport, there will be injuries and illnesses when competing at the top level of competition. Imagine if every NFL QB retired after receiving a concussion. It's difficult to watch horses get retired with such a "half glass empty," or a "what could go wrong, will go wrong" mentality. True champions are defined by the adversities they overcome and proving their greatness.Common Mikey, let him run!!! · 631 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · He made the comment right after the race. I don't believe any channel showed it, but it was reported on DRF and USA Today that he said that. However, he now seems much more upbeat. It looks as though Mo will go to the PA Derby, where he will face THAS. · 631 days ago ·

  • ruffed grouse · For what it is worth to folks I was at the track couple weeks ago here in Saratoga and caught UM working on the training track. He is a picture of health and his work was very impressive. He is also dead fit for this, the training track has no bottom to it so it is a good five to seven lengths slower than the main, it really buts a foundation on a horse. · 634 days ago ·
