that is what impressed me most.
I wasn't sure QR had that ability.
Supposedly that 7 furlong work coming up to the Fl. Derby was 1:25 and clocked finishing in 23+change.
I believe it now.

I can't wait until Sunday evening when we have a new round of preps (and horses) to talk about.

Well at least we have a bit more variety this year verses to last year's "Big Brown this, Big Brown that..."
