This is not a 20 horse field. There's nothing wrong with Quality Road's draw.

It's an interesting post for Quality Road. I was at Santa Anita last year when he flipped out when the helicopter starting swooping over the gate. This year he loads first. Wonder if Shireefs has called in about 3 "copters" to hover over....

No way - he needs QR in the race to help force the pace

Hasn't the 1 hole won more Derbies than any other post? The 1 hole didn't hurt in the 2006 BC either.

So Randall was right everyone... He drew the rail and finished last because of it, give Randy boy a reward or something...

I'm sorry your horse lost. You are awful but you knew that. I wasn't right about any aspect of the Classic. I would've expected QR to hit the board.

Randall it has nothing to do with my horse losing... You start a thread about his draw, before there was any bias... So you got lucky, then you bump it when he runs last, lol... THats all.. Nothing personal. Where did the #3 run?

Definitely the post. He's third if he draws the 5 hole.
