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…

Hard to match Ghostzapper's performance. One of my favorite races.

You're right, Ghostzapper is totally going to beat out Quality Road for HOY now.

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.

It was damn close.

And I'm a huge Ghostzapper guy.

For what it's worth- it should be a 121 Beyer.

Correct... although I wouldn't be surprised if they revise the number down because it was a closer margin, even though they shouldn't.

They absolutely shouldn't. Musket Man is a nice horse and he ran a huge race.
