I'll be very surprised if he's second and highly doubt he hits the board. This ain't Lone Star.

I respect that, but the good race question not as much. Besides QR who is even decent in this spot? Who do you like in the sprint?

I'm certainly not convinced in Quality Road at 1-5 here, his last race where he had a very soft pace to work with was pretty inexcusable, Convocation grinded out a workmanlike win in his last going 3 wide most of the way, he can run better off of that prep. Convocation looks a good value bet to me in this spot, if Arcodoro sets a honest pace.

Why can't he? Quality Road is obviously no worse than a 2nd place finish in here, but he has enough cracks in his armour at Saratoga to not be a iron clad lock.

Is it really cracks or was it more of Johnny V letting him loaf in the lane and get nipped at the wire? I think they learned a hard lesson last time and it won't happen again.
