Any chance the events of the Whitney have Pletcher questioning his 'stuff'?

Maybe he's at the point where he's rubbing his catcher's head for 'good luck'.

I not only like her chances to win today, but I don't see her losing the rest of the year, BC included. IMO, she's a SERIOUS racehorse that we can expect great things from, and obliges those who back her from here on out.

The Kansas City Royals have more say in this year's World Series than Quality Road does with how DEVIL MAY CARE performs.

i think devil may care is a safe single today. some serious horses in the distaff division, but i think she's the top 3 yo. she just seems a cut above.

Same here.

Two possibilities after watching the 2nd race (the 1st race of the day on the dirt):

1) Curlinello is a monster
2) there's an inside speed bias, again

Good call

ha ha ha

Gee, yet another FAST HORSE that gets wiped out by a horse that consistently runs AGAINST unfavorable setups.

Can't wait to hear Pletcher's excuse for this one.

You'd think the plug could've at least gotten 2nd.

No problem. I obviously wasn't alone in liking her today (see place and show pools). The whole time prior to post I was frantically looking for your opinion of the race to possibly link up with your picking prowess for a nice, hefty exacta. Alas, your opinion was absent. Didn't really matter anyway b/c DMC ran like $hit, just chased and faded.

Seriously though, as bad as my heavily opinionated assertion seemed to look out there today, I'd much rather take a stand and lose (not a first) then to be a self proclaimed humorous, monday morning quarterback. Feel free to post your thoughts before the race is what I'm saying.

The jury is still out on the filly. Let's hope she comes back okay and just had one of those bad days that every horse encounters.

you did not read what i said...it had nothing to do with quality road. it had to do with level of comp. and class......devil may care was beating plugs until yesterday. that road came to an end.....as predicted....by me and the fat man and homer. i guess pletcher did not rub anything......lol
