The Racino Era is Drawing to a Close

Here ye, Here ye, "The Racino Era is Drawing to a Close". Remember when we told ourselves that we needed slot machines as a temporary band-aid to fix the racing industry? Many of us forgot the fact it was to be temporary assistance and we are now being reminded of… Read More

The Beat of the Millennium

One of my favorite racetrack moments ever came on March 7, 1986 in South Florida. Hialeah Park was still glorious then and only beginning its spiral downward. But not on this day. This was a day when the game was all it can be. Toni Pricci and I were on vacation, and I said we must go to Hialeah tod...Read More

Does Uncle Mo Compare To Seattle Slew?

Is it fair to be comparing a horse who has made only three lifetime starts to one of the greatest horses in racing history? Probably not, but let's see how they stack up so far...Read More

icyhotboo · He may well have enough stamina to win the first two legs but you have to go back six generations on his paternal side to find that kind of stamina and that's two generation to far back. · 448 days ago ·

annmatt · Nothing would make me happier than to see Uncle Mo continue on Slew's path. Mainly, I like Mike Repole's statements that his horse will race as long as he's fit. This could mean not only a TC season of thrills, but a couple more years of watching new history be made. I am so tired of owners taking their 6-start horses and throwing them into the breeding barn! We need a return to a time when horses were bred to run and bred to breed! Go MO! · 447 days ago ·

Mike in SB · I think the difference is going to be that Slew had three races after March and the Wood was two weeks before the Derby in those days. He was fit and ready for three tough races in five weeks. Uncle Mo will have two starts spaced about a month apart before the Derby. I just can't see a horse with that schedule winning the Triple Crown. But with the retirement of Zenyatta and Rachel, the sport needs a star and I hope it is Uncle Mo. · 447 days ago ·

Lmaris · The sport has plenty of stars but with the media's singular focus on Uncle Mo, it is unlikely the fan base will be increased. Uncle Mo, while a very nice 2 year old, is far more likely to be another Arazi than Slew. Notice Slew proved at 2 he could run 3 races brilliantly within 4 weeks. Mo hasn't run 2 races within 4 weeks. Slew also had his 3yo stakes debut just 2 weeks after his allowance win. Mo again will wait another month. To paraphrase Lloyd Bentson: I knew Slew. I was a fan of Slew. Uncle Mo is no Seattle Slew. I think Dialed In, Miucho Macho Man, just to name 2 are better. · 447 days ago ·

Uncle Mo has just as good a shot as Seattle Slew or other brilliant two year-olds that carried that brilliance into their 3 year old season and beyond. If there is a time to dream, it's this time of year! Thanks, Brian for bringing to our attention the striking similarities between Mo and Slew after their first three races. · 447 days ago ·

arazi · I don't know whether Uncle Mo will even turn out to be as good as those horses. But where he is now, the first week of March, he is way ahead of any of the horses mentioned. At this point Barbaro was undefeated, but his only dirt race was a G3 Holy Bull win over weak competition. Afleet Alex finished second in the Champagne and BC Juvenile, and won the 6f Mountain Valley at this time. Point Given had the look of a great horse, but he had already been beaten in the Champagne and BC Juvenile and hadn't started yet. If we truly compare Mo with what we know at this point to where others were at this point, I think it's no contest he is the best to come along in 20 years. · 447 days ago ·

icyhotboo · All the triple crown winner's had the pedigree,top and bottom.Uncle Mo has no top stamina in the last six generations.Every horse I listed had a great bottom and and a good to fair top. Unless he is the recipient of a mutated super gene he won't get by the derby. Come derby day he won't be getting my money although I'm happy he's in it for the dead money he brings.Take a broader view there are two sleepers out there that have a legitimate chance,Uncle Mo is not one of them.This is the opinion from the viewpoint of a retired professional gambler( who did nothing else but gamble,I didn't sell tout sheets,I had no subsidy from a journalistic point or anywhere else ,I have never published any of my material and will not allow it to be published till I'm dead) who learned long ago not to wager with my heart but my head.The only thing I can add to bolster your view and that of others who like Uncle Mo to win it all is that as a gambler I've seen the improbable happen on a regular basis and have incorporated this into my thinking.Have a nice day. · 446 days ago ·

footlick · I agree with icyhotboo on the breeding angle. Uncle Mo's stamina is too far back in his pedigree to really kick in. Hi is an impressive horse who has only started three times and I can't really say they were impressive fields either. I wish the horse well and pray that he doesn't get injured with only three two year old races for a foundation and two fairly easy races before the TC. What ever happened to giving a horse a great two year old foundation? To me it does not serve the horse well, especially if you suddenly want them to run 3 races in 5 weeks at 10, 9.5 and 12 furlongs. · 446 days ago ·

TheSecondBigRed · I don't see why everyone thinks Uncle Mo can win the Triple Crown..he hasn't even started this year. And, there's no complete guarantee he'll win any races this year, either. I hope he does well, and I hope that, even though it's a slim chance, that there will be a 2011 Triple Crown winner. But, I'm just not sure you can use the term "Triple Crown" yet with any horse until he's at least won the Derby. · 446 days ago ·

Brunetti points finger at Calder over slots

For years, Hialeah Park's John Brunetti has been blaming everyone else for his racetrack's problems. First it was Doug Donn, whose family once owned Gulfstream Park, which took possession of South Florida's middle racing dates decades ago, relegating Hialeah Park to a less preferred early winter or ...Read More
