Based on Steve's list, here are horses with early speed and/or pressing speed...
Espoir City
Etched
First Dude
Haynesfield
Morning Line
Quality Road
... even if one or to stumble/defect, there's still plenty of gas.

I don't think a fast pace will bother Quality Road ...in fact, a fast pace might bother Zenyatta a lot more than QR as counter intuitve as that sounds.
Here is what I mean ... these are two very fast paced races...

Zenyatta absolutely crawled home over a surface notorious for lightening fast come home times the one and only time in her life when she faced a very fast pace.
Temple City is an example of what can happen when a synthetic router moves to dirt and sees a brutally fast pace.
