He is the fastest horse in the race. Everyone questions the last 1/8th and that may indeed prove to be his undoing, but I give him a big shot.

I'm not high on QR for the classic. As others have mentioned, his last race did not inspire confidence, especially with the way Blame came back last time. Considering the quality and size of the field, the distance, and the presence of other speeds, I don't see how he gets such an easy trip that he can also carry his speed for that extra furlong.

Unless significant defections occur, I see no chance Quality Road is lone speed.... unless lone speed is a one length lead going 22 change, 44 change... and him getting 10 furlongs short of a bias going that fast against this group? I don't see it.

If you think the master plan is to put him on the lead your wrong. He will be stalking 3rd or 4th around the track. Then when its time to run, hopefully the push button QR is back.

Based on Steve's list, here are horses with early speed and/or pressing speed... Espoir City Etched First Dude Haynesfield Morning Line Quality Road ... even if one or to stumble/defect, there's still plenty of gas.

So you dont think that the weights will make a differance going 1 1/4 miles on the dirt?
Qr will carry 126 LAL will carry 122 Z will carry 123 Quality Road has a problem with giving the 3yo LAL 4 lbs and Zenyatta gets 3lbs. QR just might be off the board.

Here is what I mean ... these are two very fast paced races... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxfpmHO2_Hc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34G-d...eature=related Zenyatta absolutely crawled home over a surface notorious for lightening fast come home times the one and only time in her life when she faced a very fast pace. Temple City is an example of what can happen when a synthetic router moves to dirt and sees a brutally fast pace.

I think it's between Zenyatta and Looking at Lucky.
