Hmm.... I dont think he will have as much of a problem going 10f then everyone else does, his JCGC was fine IMO. If he gets a fast dirt track I think hes long gone.

I think the doubts about Quality Road getting 10 furlongs are based on a fallacy, and that's that he was the same horse he was in 2009. I think that's largely untrue based on his last two races.

I find those that consider QR losing to Summer Bird twice as an indictment of his ability to get 10 furlongs are ignoring the circumstances. If you can't make adjustments or concessions for dull performances based on conditions or other independent factors you'll have a very hard time making money betting on thoroughbred racing.

An equal fallacy is the presumption that Quality Road hates wet tracks IMO. He was beaten twice at the distance by a horse that didn't possess his talent. And he's better this year than last? Maybe marginally, but he ran some phenomenal races last season. He's been a superstar both years.

I know they were still battling foot issues w/ him last summer and fall. . . I don't think he's a "true" 10F horse, but he may just be so much better than most if not all of his competition that it won't matter.
