I never said the Travers was a foregone conclusion, not in any way, shape or form. I am certainly willing to listen to anybody who wants to bet against her, but excuses like, she might get into trouble, her jockey might be intimidated, or she might race in traffic are kind of a waste of time in my opinion.
Let me just say this as well, I've been a Quality Road guy since shortly after the third race on November 29 last year, but everyone is putting him on this monstrous pedestal and I really think he could be in line to be very disappointing in the Travers. A 10 furlong race 2nd off an injury-induced layoff is a tall order. I hope we can see him and Rachel square off.

I totally disagree. I actually dont think people realize how good Quality Road is. I pray she runs, because I will then bet QR as hard as I have ever bet a horse, with full confidence that he is flat out better then her.
