I'll just be happy with his fans not hijacking every thread on here and making it about Quality Road.

He was placed in a very tough spot - stretching out to 10 furlongs off a 6.5 furlong win.

It didn't help things that his trip was an absolute horror show.

It was nice to see the great future wager expert Ian Wilkes horse run his typical race.

Um I am a huge fan, and still am. He freaked out before the race, broke slow and NEVER LOOKED COMFORTABLE. I guess none of that matters. I would love to get a fast track rematch in the JCGC.

Quality Road still finished third. He didn't take his toys and go home and finish last. Considering the situation and the fact the last time he went two turns was in March, it was a pretty good effort.

The only way it could've been scripted any better concerning this horse is if he'd have run in the Derby and gone off the favorite. He'd have given all his fans a real treat there, as well.

Clearly, he's NOT FAST ENOUGH.
