He just doesn't seem to have much speed and speed is vital in today's game. There just won't be many chances to get around in 24, 49, 1:14 at the stakes level.

I'm not buying the hype either. I am, however, happy to hype Quality Road. That horse is the real deal.

FINALLY, you and Stevie Belmont at Pace Ad are in agreement.

Even Joe Obvious is right occasionally.
