It sounds like Quality Road's next start will be the Met Mile but Pletcher will probably have to beat one of these horses in a BC Classic head-to-head matchup to get HOY. A dry track in Louisville in November is a risky proposition.

It will be interesting to see what BC ticket prices will be when they go on sale.

I wonder if they'll go for the Carter first if they point to the Met Mile. There's not much else in April anyways outside of the Oaklawn Handicap, and it opens up an avenue towards a sprint title (Forego, Cigar Mile later on) on top of an handicap horse Eclipse.

The Carter while a real G1 is 250k.. I dont see how that flatters him in the shed.. The Met could be a great race IF Rachel comes back and improves off her 3 year old form. QR while JUICED with the new and improved TAP elixir has to be viewed as the single fastest horse in the world..

Do multiple Eclipse awards flatter him in the shed?

Vindication is a complete bust with his strawberry road kill. On the bottom. My beloved Smarty is 10k booked open. With Elusive on top. QR has a lot to prove before the bid mares move from DH,INDY,Smart Strike and Gcauseway head over?

What does this have to do with winning multiple Eclipse awards?
