QR,Z. QR will bounce back Saturday and then Todd will have 2 months to have him ready to fire 1 HUGE SHOT. We will see. If they all make it, Blame will be higher then 5-2. I think Afleet Express can step up and compete in the JCGC

Didn't he have that before the Whitney?

I know.... He is facing much softer and Blame just beat him on the square. Who can compete this time? Does GOAT 1 jump up and win this race?

I can't believe Blame's odds either. I would be all over that at 6-1 compared to the other shorter prices.

Quality Road may be better suited for the dirt mile, but I'd take some of that as well if he went at that price.

I can't agree more. QR and the dirt mile would be a great fit. Where do you think the Candy's will run (Sidney and Twirling?)

I know he's been the lone speed before and faltered, but he's also been the lone speed and run a 120 or whatever it was. Just saying, if there's a horse that can freak in a race like the Classic in 2010, it's Quality Road.

I too will be be keying QR if wherever he goes in the BC. Just plain think he is the best horse out there despite the Woodward (went too slow early IMO).

You will probably get 6-1 on Blame on race day anyway, if Zenyatta comes into the race undefeated.

Invasor was 7-1 in 2006 despite winning the Pimlico Special, Suburban, and Whitney throughout the year.
