right on, funny how these horses can only race like 6 or 7 times a year. have to retire because they are not sound but somehow they are faster....lol. remember when horses could win at 5 furlongs or a mile and half? lets see who can now? they run a mile and a half once in a career, belmont day. and most can't make that!(they avoid ten furlongs half the time!) this is why i need these speed figure "gurus"(i need the money...lol). yes, QR ran a fast race, he is freaky fast but hes yet to show he can carry it or string big races together at a distance. he probably is the fastest dirt horse racing right now. but, the fastest "joe blow" speed figure makes him a world beater now? (compared to history) ok, quality road is better than forego, war admiral and seabiscuit.....there are you happy now?
by the way forego was the champion sprinter the same year he won the jockey gold cup (1974). he ran 12 times(1974)....yeah, they are way faster and fitter today......lol........lol. lets wait and see if this horse makes it through the season before all the "greatest" talk.....PLEASE(by the way the horse of the year can't even make it to the races after 8 weeks of training, these horses are gems of consistancy today..c'mon!)
