Qtrs vs T-Breds.

I live is So cal and have been to Los Al numerous times. I dont play the qtrs but have heard alot of angles. The one that made sense was that if they have qtrs and t-breds running at 870 distances only play the T-Bred if he is a closer. A t-bred who tries to run head up with a qtr early in a race will get shredded. Many 870 races have Q-horses who are regulars at 350-400 yds distances, thus that is why you dont want a T-Bred racing early with a Qtr in an 870 race.
