Chances are that he won't feel dirt kicked in his face for a long time unless his running style changes dramatically.<br /><br />His Timely Writer win was better than some are giving him credit for. It was incredibly easy for him and that final quarter in 22.87 was nothing short of phenomenal after just a hand ride. For a fun comparison the last quarter of the Breeders' Cup Mile last year went in 25.85. <br />I think he's still way ahead of this crop.Brian Appletonhttp://railrunner.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883305680460329957.post-69625194854029385342011-03-15T02:13:49.141-04:002011-03-15T02:13:49.141-04:00Susan,

If so, he doesn't need to purposely get dirt in his face just to taste it and get in enough trouble to risk injury.<br /><br />In the BC Juvenile BOYS tried to make him run hard, but could not keep w/ UNCLE MO's pace and class.<br /><br />For now, I'm content calling him the best. He did at two what only PrePeg and Soldat have come close to doing as a 3y.o. thus far. This was a terrific first race back for UNCLE MO. Call his race a workout if you must. He's already proven he's a champ.<br /><br />The case with all of them??? All 20 who qualify have to answer the 1 1/4 mile question on May 7, not just UNCLE MO.<br /><br />From a horseplayer perspective it's always wise to find reasons not to love the favorite. From a fan's perspective, the best just simply looks like the best.Amateurcapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982902236844905767noreply@blogger.com
