That will be a key for future dosage -- the performances of the offspring. Uncle Mo only raced 8 times but was pretty impressive. He won 5 times including the BC Juvenile at 1 1/16 miles -- his longest race win. He ran third in the Wood at 1 1/8, missed the Derby and ran 10th in the BC Classic at 1 1/4 miles. He had a rare liver disease that compromised most of his third year of racing probably leading to the poorer performances. Nyquest's dam sire is Forestry a very good sprinter.
Can you throw out all of this "shorter distance" stuff like with Pharaoh and some of the others -- that obviously didn't work? That is the question and important one since Nyquest will be a hot favorite. He was lugging out at the end of the Wood. Was he getting tired or just shifted because the jockey was looking behind? His last eighth was pretty fast.
