  • 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. · 273 days ago ·

  • AubreyKidder · I think Uncle Mo's was. He came back from a possibly deadly disease and almost won even after losing a shoe! He ran the fastest 7F on the card that day. Don't get me wrong, The Factor's return was very impressive, but I go with Mo all the way. · 274 days ago ·

  • jinlie01 · The Factor looks solid for BC Sprint if he stays healthy...the light schedule might be beneficial...he'll be pretty "fresh" towards end of year. · 274 days ago ·
