I dont think we'll see Quality Road run until the Cigar Mile. He seems to do well with time off and the word is that race took everything out of him yesterday. I would have loved to see what he could have done in the Kings Bishop.

Talk about a horrible weekend for Todd Pletcher. His only consolation was a cheap win from the Roundhouse. 3 bad grade 1's in a row. Unbridled Belle was the nuts on the sundae. Man, that was an utter mess.

I have the race Past The Point is coming out of running a 121 pace and 98 final. It's the fastest pace race of the whole meet on my numbers.

And my pace numbers tend to come back slower than CJ's .. he might have it a 130.

I don't think RA will look her best hooking a stretch out like that.

He seemed to run pretty well in the Florida Derby with less than a handful of weeks rest.

He had a first timer win. That filly might be ok, she totally missed the break and won for fun. I 100% agree with you though, it was a mess for him this weekend. Munnings and Quality Road both losing had to hurt.
