This should be interesting... Quality Road is hands-down the leader for Horse of the Year at this point. Now there's plenty of time to go, and yes, he's not a 10f horse, but lots of funky scenarios could manifest themselves between now and the end to help elevate the interest level with the whole Rachel/Zenyatta thing losing steam.

The Mosses are wasting a lot of time running Zenyatta in the Vanity if they want HOTY.
If their goal is to just relax and hold the streak record though, kudos to the Mosses.

Didn't catch the Met
How did QR's effort stack up against the gold standard performance (GZ) for the race? Never mind … think we already know the answer…

I'm as big of a GZ fan as anyone, but since you didn't see the race, QR was absolutely terrific today. He battled through a contentious pace, completely broke the heart of Warrior's Reward around the turn and still had more than enough to hold off the perfect-trip Musket Man in 1:33.11. Face it, your girl's actually going to have to come run in some real races if Shirreffs wants HOY over this monster. With all of that said, I don't think QR wants to run a step further than nine furlongs, so if he makes it to the BCC as the favorite, I'll be betting against him.

Nice race by Quality Road. I limited my wagers and just had the 3 and 8 in tri boxes hoping for a score in case Quality Road faltered. I thought "no way" at the time I could make much money playing Quality Road, though in retrospect the $6.10 to $1 exacta payout with Musket Man makes me say "woulda coulda shoulda." Pretty race. Velazquez positioned QR to where he never had to look at another horse's tail during the race, and had his choice of track position the entire route. Grip it and rip it.
