Title: Mo was Slow!!
Post by: Silver Charm on March 12, 2011, 01:45:15 PM
Not all that impressed. 1:36:53 after an opening Qtr in 25:55!!
There are bigger more mature 3YO\'s out there.
Taking this horse at 7/2 in these Futures is a money pit.

Everyone knew it was just a paid workout. Doesn\'t mean a thing. The Wood will tell the tale.

Horse only needs to go as fast as he has to, to win.  No need to break him down with speed.  We\'ll have to see the Wood.

MO 1:36:53
Tackleberry 1:35:12

There is no way this can be crafted as anything but a slow effort. That was not Seattle Slew I just saw today and I would NOT take Seattle Slew right now at 7/2 in the Future Book in a race with 20 horses.

I don\'t know what to make of Uncle Mo\'s effort. It was a facile looking victory. Lot of upsets today but he took care of business.

Came home in 22.87, which is very good. Not sure what you were expecting to see. Okay, he was slower than the fastest older horse currently running at GP, while not being fully cranked off a big layoff.  Doesn\'t seem like cause for worry.

But you\'re right about the 7-2.

Looked like an outstanding workout to me. I wouldn\'t take him, or any other horse in the futures at 7/2. But for a workout, that was just about perfect today imo.
