Cool. Should be a good day to be there.
SA Derby looks like it could be a big field.

Is Uncle Mo
Going to face anyone this weekend? The last race I think he could’ve run backwards and won. I have rarely seen a horse win that effortlessly. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see him romp so he takes all the money on Derby Day and I can get a price on Dialed In. For some reason I just love Dialed In.
I don't think the Wood is going to be too strong.
Seems like most of the contenders out east are in Florida, Arkansas or Cali at this point.

A friend of mine who is better
with the ponies than I am swears Uncle Mo is going to give the triple crown a run. He just really believes this is the best horse by far. I told him I’m going to try to beat him, but wouldn’t be disappointed if he did win a triple crown. I have to think, if he romps in the Wood, he could be the biggest favorite that we know very little about. He just hasn’t faced anything as a 3 year old yet. We’ll see I guess! I would have to think a win Saturday makes him a HUGE favorite come derby day.
I'm not going to be surprised if he make a run at it...
while I’ll try to beat him in the Derby I really think he’s easily the best 3yo right now. He hasn’t been tested but I don’t know if there’s a horse out there than can offer that test right now. Of course, the Derby is a whole different ballgame and he could get a bad draw, trip, etc. but I think he’s going to be tough to beat if he’s on his game. How far he wants to run, however, might be an issue going forward.
I think you’re right on his possible odds on Derby day…Big Brown was 5/2 and I think Uncle Mo could be lower than that. 2/1 or even 9/5.
