There was a time when I would have never believed that a son of Elusive Quality could win a major race at a classic distance. He already has sired a Kentucky Derby winner in Smarty Jones and last years Breeders Cup Classic winner Raven Pass.

I think he's without question the fastest horse Bill Mott ever trained. Back before they reconfigured Gulfstream - it was a very speed friendly track. Elusive Quality ran only two times there in his life - and posted Beyers of 122 and 123 in those two races. As fast as he was, he amazingly never won a stake race on dirt.





And from the fastest sprinter Mott ever trained .... to probably the worst horse Mott has trained in the last 20 years ... I give you Kobla ... the mother of Quality Road.



Pretty impressive two race career.
