I think RA will have the best looking 3yo season after all is said and done.

The problem is - she has yet to face easily the 2nd best 3yo filly (Careless Jewel) ... she hasn't faced either QR or IWR .. and they are the only 3yo males this year who aren't goats. The older males suck .. and the Zenyatta match up might not ever happen.

It's all through no fault of her own .. but it's pretty remarkable that a filly like Melair .. who's career lasted all of 10 weeks .. probably saw both better female and male competition than RA ever has.

I think they needed to go Travers, I am not doubting her she is def. great, but I beleive QR is as good if not better.

QR is a nice horse and you arent alone thinking he is really great, but to say Rachel has to beat Quality Road is kind of nutty.
QR to date has won one significant race. It was unfortunate he got hurt (twice) and he is really talented but he has so much yet to prove. Saturday's travers would be a good start as the field is loaded. I would say given the time and races hes missed, this is a must win for QR.
