There's enough pace in the race that if anyone other than a ****** were riding him, the horse couldn't help but fall into a perfect setup.

P.S. he didn't appear to handle the track at MNR last out.
Good post. Couldnt agree more but I would take a shot at 4/1. I think thats more than fair, even with Smith riding. I love Quality Road as a racehorse but I have a bad feeling about him in this race.
