I respect that, but the good race question not as much. Besides QR who is even decent in this spot? Who do you like in the sprint?

Bribon and Here Comes Ben at this point. . .

I'm certainly not convinced in Quality Road at 1-5 here, his last race where he had a very soft pace to work with was pretty inexcusable, Convocation grinded out a workmanlike win in his last going 3 wide most of the way, he can run better off of that prep. Convocation looks a good value bet to me in this spot, if Arcodoro sets a honest pace.

Convocation won't win.

Why can't he? Quality Road is obviously no worse than a 2nd place finish in here, but he has enough cracks in his armour at Saratoga to not be a iron clad lock.

Is it really cracks or was it more of Johnny V letting him loaf in the lane and get nipped at the wire? I think they learned a hard lesson last time and it won't happen again.

Maybe, I understand not taking on a big favorite for the sake of taking on a favorite, however if I were singling him I would not be comfortable with the Pletcher rush back, considering how sporadic QR has run in his career. Pletch usually likes to space his races out. I wonder had he won the Whitney, would he even be in here, nevertheless this isn't GP or Belmont, it's a good opportunity in my opinion. Jerkins/Pletch exacta. How ironic would this be?

That 111 beyer and a nose second still kills these. Who is jumping up running a 110 or higher?
