For the love of the game come on Owner's and Trainer's get your boys and Girls into the Travers and have an all out battle. If these owners and trainer really want to do what's right for this sport then Aug. 29th should look like this :

Quality Road, (Fla Derbyand would have been a Ky Derby Favorite)
Mine That Bird (Ky Derby Winner)
Ra. Alexandra ( Preakness, Haskell)
Summer Bird ( Belmont Stakes)
Kensei ( Jim Dandy Stakes )

Make it happen.

I would also like to see Warriors Reward with a pace to run at. He might go Kings Bishop though.

The horse who won the last dirt race prior to the Asterdam had run 87's a couple times but never higher - and got 7 furlongs in 1:21.71

1:13.45 for 6.5 furlongs would equate to a Beyer figure 20 points faster.

Assuming the 7 furlong filly got to her career top, which is a fairly safe assumption, Quality Road's Beyer would be a 107 .. slightly below the 111 and 113 in his two prior starts ... but solid none the less.

All we need now is I Want Revenge to come back ... and we'd have the only two males from this 3yo crop who are any good.

It was great to see him run again. It puts a little more excitement into the summer and fall. I hope they run him in the Travers.

I think that has been the plan the whole time.
Hopefully he comes out of this ok.

They should run him in the King's Bishop.

Between you and Cannon Shell - I'm starting to get worried.

107 seems reasonable based on the grouping, but I'm just not used to seeing six and one half going under 1:07 and 1:14. the horse was within himself too. really good comeback.
