Elusive Quality never ran a race around two turns on the main track.

He won his only start beyond a mile, in an 8.5f allowance at Belmont in his third career start.

He was also 2nd in a 8f allowance and well beaten after setting a scorching pace in the Met Mile in his only other main track starts beyond 7f.

He may still hold the course record for a mile on turf at Belmont, winning the Poker in 1:31 and change.

You're right. I pulled up his form and had him mixed up.

Based on what is shown here, Elusive Quality looked like a run off sprinter who if he didn't have the lead at the top of the lane, was all done. Never won more than a G3 is surprising as well. Those GP Beyers jump off the page, which GP Beyers still do to this day for early speed. For some reason I thought EQ was better on the track than this...

It's been awhile, but I think I remember Elusive Quality running some freaky races as a 3 year old. Those aren't in the PP's that were shown. He set some crazy fractions in either a mile or 1 1/16th race at Belmont before getting beat very late.

Here's the race you're talking about with the wild fractions..

I wouldn't rule out any price for him at this point. You could have him go for $100 million and look up in 5 years and see that Meydan is named Khalifa Downs.
