So why should this be any different? Common fact? You can't seperate heresay from fact.

If the plan was for 2 works before the Derby, and he works Friday or Saturday like was reported, that means it's 3 full weeks until the race. How is that behind? If he quarter crack doesn't allow him to make the Derby, well it is what it is. But he won't not run in the race because he worked Friday and not Wednesday like you think he should have.

Shut Up.

Thank you.

We all know what toll a triple crown run can take on a top quailty young horse when they are 100% , and when they run a ouchy horse in the Derby it just seems to take it out of them. Next stop is down the latter to find the winners circle.

Jimmy Jerkens father once told me that just because you have a plan, that doesnt mean its the right one...

I love how many trainers and vets have come out of the woodwork on this board since an article was run about Quality Road having a quarter crack.

A quarter crack like any other affliction had by a horse, goat, human, or mouse, is specific to that being. Some are bad, some are not so bad. It's all situational.

One thing can be certain and that's that James Jerkens is not going to run his horse unless he's 100% and he has the best hoof guy working on him. That all seems pretty simple.

I did step on a lit cigarette one time and my hoof looked as bad as Big Brown's did last year.

I hope the once a year bettors jump on this and increase his odds. If he runs he's a shoe-in (no pun intended) for the super. There is a Derby super, I hope.

i'm sure he's not

i doubt he knows this site even exists

we will see in a few weeks what happens

i hope the horse runs , his connections are good for the game

i just put out an opinion that i don't think he will go because it will be very hard to have him at 100% for a 10f race , i could be right , i could be wrong time will tell , what do you think will he be in the starting gate ?

Jimmy Jerkens never struck me as the internet-savvy type.

actually i'd guess he does, since one of his good friends trains the horses for the website's stable.

agreed, his connections are good for the game- he's a good trainer and evans is a good owner, and the horse is phenomenal. i think he'll run, and run well.

Evans wins the Virginia T-bred Association's breeder of the year award almost every single year. I'm sure kev even stalks him on occasion.

It's like when a horse is supposed to work on a Wednesday and due to weather the work has to be pushed back a day or two. Do you have any idea how often that happens?

I personally think he will be in the gate on May 2nd, because I am of the opinion the quarter crack isn't as bad as it was originally made out to be.

fair eneough Da Hoss we both have different opinions that is what the game is about

my opinion was formed based on a known fact (the crack) - one of us is going to be wrong , i hope it's me , the trainer and owner and all other involved i hope they get there
