I meant he tried stakes competition outside of La once, and came up short.
Mor Spirit and Mo Tom caught that same sloppy track.

He won at CD at a mile first time out. He had the lead in the stretch in his only loss on slop & Asmussen stated he didn't have him ready the way he should have going into that race, & the slop was no excuse.
Also, good horses with tactical speech & turn of foot make their own perfect trips w/o help from any other horse. You see the difference between GR & Mo Tom?
Mo Tom can't get away from his own shadow & gets I to serious problems, GR doesn't have that problem & to cappers like you, it always seems like horses like GR get the perfect trip, difference is, GR earns Hus perfect trips by being the horse he is.

Why is it when Mo Tom gets into trouble, they always blame the jockey, or blame Danzig Candy's crazy speed on the slop?
You do know Gun Runner beat Mo Tom twice?

I don't expect to change any minds. just sharing my thoughts.
I also warned people about Vicars In Trouble and International Star.
Horses that win the derby just don't finish up like that in their preps.

I don't know who "they" are. I'm not blaming anyone, I simply stated that Mo Tom to me is a far more interesting derby prospect than GR.

Honestly I haven't totally settled in yet. I got a late start on this derby.
I have some favorable opinions that involve 3-4 horses, but have not reached a decision so today I can't give you one horse. Give me a week and I'll name one.

They is the whole world, whether I read comments on this site, drf, etc. Everyone states the same stuff about Mo Tom, why he's always getting I to trouble. I've seen ma.y horses get into trouble in the past & they never do anything in the derby, its just a bad habit of tripping over themselves.

Fair enough, I'm assuming like most, you need to see the post positions, which makes sense.

Noisy Gun Runner: It was most noticeable in his workout, but the Louisiana Derby winner breathes louder than most horses when moving. Jockey Florent Geroux says he's always been that way. "If it was something new, it would be concerning," Geroux said.
maybe he's a smoker.
