No. Not a chance on a track that regularly eats runners with his style for lunch....whether they're exceptional or not.

true, speed going 2 turns is toast.....i just hope both get to churchill in fine order and we can see what happens.

On any real sort of track, he's a bit 10f-limited. She is a 10f horse.

I think they would have dead heated.

Icon Project would have run third.

[ArlJim78]

No way does Quality Road win that race imo.

How is he 10f limited?

because of how he ran in the Travers after being illogically rushed into making the race off of feet trouble and with only a single 6.5f prep a few weeks earlier. Breaking poorly at the start costing himself position hurt his chances as well and made the likelyhood of a non-effort that much greater.

He was a fairly competitive 3rd in that race despite all kinds of reasons to not fire.

O.K., really, I don't know how in the hell this is happening, but it's the same situation as with St. Trinians, and Sidney's Candy. We'll pass on the race you say was troubled. Go to the following race (J.C. G CUP.) The horse is enjoying the track. The track may have bothered some that day, but not the top 2. He's playing on the front of a 24.96, 49.73, 113.12 pace. If he is a 10f horse, then there is no reason why he shouldn't outfinish all comers in there. Look at the head-on version of the race. He looks nice on the far turn. So, if it was 9f, I think he holds off the winner in that. It's the final eighth that gets him. Look at his left front. That twirling lasso crap doesn't help. Do you really think this horse can hold a horse like Zenyatta off going 10f when he's tired, n' twirling a lasso? Better be at Gulfstream, or Monmouth. It's probably not gunna happen at Belmont, Churchill, Anita etc. He would need to catch a particularly fast track. No doubt, he is terrific at Gulfstream. Anywhere else, I really think he's much better off going 9f or less. BTW, I thought this twirler (C. Reality) was gunna win the Breeders Cup Classic. He could EASILY beat Alysheba on what looks like a fast HWD STRIP. Wasn't quite the same when the footing changed. Look at him twirl in the stretch at Churchill. On one surface (fast dirt,) he's was awesome, but not when the surface changed. So, if you get that super fast dirt track, yea, Quality Road can win a big race going 10f.
