I agree. None are Quality Road but they would have likely filled out the Super last year...and pretty easily.

Morning Line? He could be finished. Rule? I guess he could be OK. Fly Down is a real horse.

Every horse that races could be " finished " but given that he ran about well as just about any horse on the BC Card, I think writing him off after one subpar race is probably a little premature. He's hardly an overraced 7YO.

Should I Want Revenge be thrown out? I have a hard time believing he will ever regain his 3 year old form.

Sub par is the problem his par isnt exactly special. That BC mile was some kind of field, he ran really well against some really ordinary horses. I hope for Zito Morning Line is good. It would be good for Zito to have handicap horses again.
