So cause it worked on great horses in the past it can't work on horses today? I don't question whether Quality Road will be fit for 10 furlongs, I just question whether he is a 10 furlong horse to begin with.

For anyone that is looking forward to betting against Quality Road you should be really pissed at the Beyer people right now for using their handheld time instead of the official time to give him a 103 figure instead of a 119. Can you imagine how much more money he would have drawn coming off a 119?

Stop it.

There is no way he would have ever got a 119 if they used the final time ... which was consistant with how every 6.5f race at last years meet was timed.

You really think that if they accepted the final time .. they still would have had two dead on the board 20K MCL'ers both running an 86 Beyer in the next race?

They have the 4th place finisher in that race jumping up 30 points and running a gigantic new top in career start number 7 while having trouble in multiple spots.

Quality road is a quality horse under the care of a quality trainer with the riding services of a quality jockey. There is no reason to believe this horse, who had a quality return to the races on Monday, will perform poorly in a quality race like the Travers on a quality track like Saratoga.

Trainers stopped doing it because somewhere along the line horses werent allowed to lose and were supposed be ready to fire their best shot every time.
