That's annoying. Frontrunner Past The Point actually shows up in the Donn, but not Timber Reserve and Le Grand Cru. I thought the latter two would lead to a fast pace and/or hound Quality Road for position.

Instead, QR will likely be in a garden spot behind Past The Point who probably won't go crazy up front.

Meanwhile, in the turf race, is Adagio a rabbit for Court Vision?

Is there a G1 horse save QRoad in this group? Is there any reason for G1 racing before 3/1 if not 4/1?

This seems like the perfect spot for Kent Desormeaux to do something off the wall with Mambo Meister. Quality Road is at his best (and Velazquez is as well) stalking from the outside of a rival, so getting him into position may be difficult. Even with early traffic trouble, if it exists, QR should absolutely man-handle that band of bums.

Court Vision will likely be 2/5 and yes, Adagio is likely a rabbit for him. I think the Chief may have been hustled to run Le Grand Cru there just to get six horses.

I think it's even funnier that Past the Point is running in this race a year too late. He would have smothered the field last year.

Kind of like installing a surface a year after everyone else has figured out it sucks.

IF Quality Road doesn't fire this race is wide open. Every horse in this field has a prep over the track. Fun handicapping for the tri and super if you love Q.R. excellent opportunity for a score if you don't.

He is the worst!

Mott would be a solid 8-10% points better without him.
