Look at how he finished up in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. He lost by a small margin to a very good horse. He hasnt run a bad race ever. Maybe he will here and I lose my money, who knows. Playing this race hoping that his talent just gets him there.
Although I dont believe the pace will be strong, Mine that Bird just really scares me for some reason...I will be using him on pick 3's and pick 4's.
This is not the kind of race I would ever tell anybody how to play or how not to play, thats for sure.
Good luck!

add to the fact that quality road has grass breeding. he should like it, even though its not a given. he caught wet tracks both times at the distance. this horse puts up monster numbers on a dry track. its a definite overlay.
good luck if you win i win!
