Wont make a decision on Quality Road until tomorrow but from what I heard, it doesnt look good for him either. I dont think they loved his breeze yesterday.

Looks like we are getting:

Driven by Success
Kodiak Kowboy
Pyro
Bribon
Vineyard Haven
Vacation

A short, compact field with a ton of talent.

Looking forward to this race and the entire day on Saturday.

Uh-oh... I suspect the NYRA police will begin to browbeat you for complaining about the product.

I think Kodiak Kowboy is a pretty nice horse who has won a lot of races...
Better? He hasnt garnered the fan base of Fabulous Strike but hes hardly disgraced himself against that rival and people talk about Fabulous Strike like he's Housebuster. And he may not quite be up to the talent level or hypothetcial level of Warriors Reward, but hes a horse I get excited to watch.

No official decision has been made yet. They wont have this out until after noon. Just speculating based on how I heard the breeze went. They are bringing the horse out again today and then decide.

Oh you mean another wonderfully bred Phipps horse that's a plug?

I sometimes wonder how long Frankel would have been employed by Juddmonte if he did as poorly with their stock as Shug does with Phipps stock.

It has been a tough year dont make me feel worse. The star of the barn is Book of Hymns enough said..

Still pending on Quality Road and now the weather is being brought into it. Supposed to have a lot of rain on Friday and they dont want to run him again on a muddy track...

Looking again like a very compact field, a la the Vosburgh.
