Looks like I'll be heading to the Spa for that. Should be a good way to close out the meet.

The logical spot for what they are trying to accomplish with her and Kensai. And unless Zenyatta will be coming out for that enhanced Beldame, QR can always have a shot at her in her next race, which would likely be for open company as well.

Agreed Freddy...I think Warrior's Reward has a big shot at a price. Had big time trouble in the Dwyer, was put into the race early by Borel last time, I expect him to run huge because in the Travers, Borel will not have him on the lead, and he will be stalking from a great spot.

You'll still get 2/1. People who love Quality Road should be jumping for joy.
With Rachel in there, you would have to deal with obvious pace pressure and the best horse in training. You would have gotten like 4/1 on QR with Rachel. I'd much rather bet QR at 2/1 w/o Rachel than 4/1 with her.

I'm going to try and beat QR.

2-1 would be a gift, I expect 4-5.
The only horse who can beat him is the Warrior.
