Current steeplechase horse Steppenwolfer was 3rd. * 2nd by 1.25 lengths to Jazil in the Belmont. Jazil still has alw conditions * 1st by 7 in the Haskell Stakes. Praying For Cash was 2nd.

Great, Bluegrass Cat? He was not even good. Roman Ruler was much much better. |

![]() Surprised no one said for Cigar to stay on the dirt after his huge maiden win.
Cigar was from the all-time worst 3yo male crop ever .. had he stayed on dirt after that huge maiden win he'd probably go down as one of the 5 best horses ever. Might have won 26 in a row instead of just 16. |

Quality Road is serious, I wish they would lay him off till next year. He would be the best handicap horse around, I know its crazy to still think QR is better then Summer Bird, but I do. I think your overating Zatfig just a tad. Careless Jewel is ok, Zenyatta would have won The Woodward for fun, its a shame she did not come. Sadly enough Icon Project might have been the best of this group and we will never get to see it. All of my comments are based on dirt races, thats part of why I wish QR would be layed off till a Gulfstream campaign. I really beleive he is as good of a horse we have had in a few years. Summer Bird is a grinder, hes really good as well, but I feel QR if right can be BRILLANT. |
