So let me see now.
The one horse (filly) who has campaigned this year at 6 tracks in 6 states--undefeated, twice against boys in Grade 1s--is now obligated to follow Quality Road wherever he goes, before being then obligated to run off to California to run over a bogus crap surface to face a mare that is being campaigned with the most boring, borderline cowardly approach to HOY I have ever seen.
Uh, yeah.
If Pletcher really wants QR to face RA, is there some law preventing HIM from entering the Woodward? Why is the burden on the only horse that is being campaigned all over the place in a highly imaginative manner?
Screw you.
The bug some of you people have up your collective asses about Jess Jackson is pretty telling. Your petty jealousies say more about you than him.
