In the Breeders Cup Classic, I see Quality Road, Rachel Alexndra, Zenyatta, Blame and Looking at Lucky, while Super Saver is 3 for 3 over the Churchill strip, With them and other very worthy compediters....A superb field, can't wait, great race shaping up!!
@Kulaness I think they put to much stress on MTB to early on in the season. They stuck him in a turf race, when he's never trained on turf in his life and after he disliked synthetic. Then he was put right into the Whitney with Blame Quality Road and other top horses, without getting any races for him to sharpen him up. I think that the trainer Chip Wooley suited well with MTB and should have stuck with him. I think he would have tried to race him at Sunland or somewhere down in New Mexico.
tslband: was that NOT the easiest triple to hit? I had that and hit the pick 3. Do I see Quality Road in front at the top of the stetch in the Breeders Cup Classic when Zenyatta and Blame fire and we have a nice stretch run?
A great race between two great colts. Personally, after this defeat to Blame, as much as I like Q.R., I see nothing that makes me think he'll stay 1-1/4 and win the Classic. Unless he goes back and win's the 1-1/4 JCGC. But Pletcher says the Woodward is next. If Q.R. loses in the Woodward too? I think you'll see him in the B.C. Dirt Mile instead of the Classic. Blame, IMO, will stay a 1-1/4. But in the Classic, he'll be out on the lead with a big mare making a run at him for the wire.
Zenyatta was way better than any of those horses and Blame got lucky that he had a much better trip or she would of went by him like he was tied to a post! 💯 Hell Rachel Alexandra is better than any of the boys.
The fact that he lost the HOTY title to Zenyatta still amazes me and is one of the biggest injustices in the sports history...and this is coming from a Zenyatta fan.
ichigo1187 are you saying Zenyatta didn't deserve HOTY? She had 19 wins in a row while the old record was 16. blame beat Zenyatta BARLEY. Get real, Zenyatta deserves it far more than blame did
Mine That Bird needs to be whipped a little at the beginning of the race to give him the message that he should run with the leaders. If you leave the horse on its own, he will settle into last place out of memory. It is time to give the horse a different jockey in order to change his outlook and running style.
QR wants no part of 1 1/4. Anyone playing QR in the BC Classic deserves to be parted with their cash, period. This horse got as easy a lead as you could ask in this race 24 1/4, 48 1/2 1:12 6 furlongs and he still got beat. Sorry dreamers, but there is no way the BC Classic goes in 48 and 1 :12. QR should be entered in the BC Mile, he doesn't want 1 1/4.
Like I sadi all along, Quality Road looked great beating up on absolute garbage at Gulfstream earlier in the year, put him up against a decent foe at 1 /8th and he loses. Any hypester who thought this horse would be effective at 1 1/4 in the BC Classic when he could not even hold on at 1 1/8th after setting snail like fractions needed a Pletcher Drug Test, lol.
Wow nice call on the classic

@Kulanessobviously you can't detect sarcasm either.
Kthxbye.

Johnny should have bottomed out this field and went faster so the rest would have their desire to run lower due to the amount of ground to make up.
O like mine that bird did in the derby lol
