Looks like I'll be heading to the Spa for that. Should be a good way to close out the meet.

Agreed Freddy...I think Warrior's Reward has a big shot at a price. Had big time trouble in the Dwyer, was put into the race early by Borel last time, I expect him to run huge because in the Travers, Borel will not have him on the lead, and he will be stalking from a great spot.

I totally agree about Warriors Reward, he will run huge and run second. QR is just to good.

You think Quality Road is just going to run a big # in a sprint off injury and then weeks later beat Ok seasoned horses.. If could but as a fav he is the type you are suppose to bet against. BTW I am not suggesting the colt can't become a superstar just that the deck is stacked a little to high for the Travers.. As for him beating Rachel in a horse race...forget it

Quality Road does have a fair amount of bottom side distance pedigree, i just don't see 10f's being in his wheel house this soon?

Give me a Kensai/Mine that Bird exacta. You all can have Quality Road in this spot.

I would really like to find out how much missed training MTB had with the surgery. I wouldnt bet any horse who's had his schedule altered close to the race or missed training... including Rachel..

Does anyone know how much his training was altered because of this?

(and I am rooting for MTB in the race... big Chip fan )

From what I understand he only missed a couple of gallups, no serious works were scheduled.
He is scheduled to have his last 'serious' work tomorrow.
I guess this type of surgery is no big deal, you just have to keep on swelling and/or infection, if none then there is nothing to knocks the horse out for any specific time.

I too am rooting very hard for MTB, I think he's got a great shot here.

As hard as PG1985 is touting QR, he'll be lucky to survive the race.

Seems to be a lot of love for Kensei. Are we expecting a with-the-pace bias?

It will take more than the weight of PG's mush to stop the beast!
