No doubt he'd be the horse to beat if the race were 9F or less.
Hard to believe that some are continuing to advance the argument that the JCGC was a prep. Why would he need that particular race and not the others he's run this year? Including the win off the long layoff.
LAL shouldn't even be in the conversation.
Hard to believe we're still having a discussion about QR getting 10F.

There is a big difference between prepping and needing a race. This is basic stuff. You don't want to peak October 2nd. You want to peak Novemeber 6th. Again, basic concepts.
I don't like making definitive statements off of one race. Especially because we aren't talking about machines that run the exact same everytime they hit the track.
