...By Friday afternoon, however, Jerkens noticed that Quality Road "wouldn't put all his weight on" his right hind foot...

...On Monday, Quality Road galloped at Belmont, Jerkens said, but came back to the barn with blood dripping from the area.

We are more than three weeks out... if this was the week before it's a different story, but luckily they had time to address the situation and all seems better now.

well the quarter crack may not be as bad... but missing training time and having that soreness... we'll see... but if he runs I'd use him at your own risk! (I wont be using him now and am prepared to eat crow)

If he runs, it means they will have to have a more fair track than the Gulf was. Churchill won't provide the sheet rock ( they don't want QR breaking down on National T.V.)

you would hope that they would do that anyway.... I mean after the big breakdowns there (8 bells, pine island).

But I wouldnt expect Churchill to actually learn anything from those experiences.
