What the Nation is saying about Quality Road...

The Bloodhorse reports that Quality Road's first foal is a colt out of stakes winner Dorm Fever.

To Honor and Serve put on a quite the display, November 26, 2011, when he rolled clear of the classy Calibrachoa. The son of Bernardini has been a puzzling this season, to say the least.

  • likin sparks · I know where Mike is coming from, with this years race is kinda weak where half the competion has had a difficult time placing in the money so I wouldn't think the WOW factor will be there. As much as I haven't been sold on Stay Thirsty for him not to win by 7 or 10 lenghts would be a kick in the can. · 135 days ago ·

  • brooklyn.steve · Stay Thirsty should win the JCGC, which should make him the co fav for Horse of the Year with HDG. He has come along nicely, and while Flat Out will be a tough challenge, Mike Repole will be standing in the winners circle at the end of the day. · 135 days ago ·

qr was always a top notch horse during the regular racing season. he got 2 top bsf's last season, and througout his career always hit the board. only problem was when classic time came around, he couldn't show up, twice. todd should have put him in the dirt mile in both 2009 and 2010, as 10f just was not his distance to win.

  • CraigBradshaw · you will get tired of carrying that silver dollar because you'll want to spend it! anyway, beyer was a groupie to this horse as he gave him so many hign bsf's, but he would fizzle on the world stage. · 136 days ago ·

  • Mary Z. · Icy, you know weight makes a difference, especially 5lbs. with that small of a margin of victory. Or else why would weights even be assigned? And usually the only time you won't argue is when you don't disagree. Heck, you even argue when you agree sometimes. · 136 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · Very nicely written. I believe Blame to this day doesn't get the credit he deserves. Not only did he run down QR but held off a monsterous charge by Zenyatta in the BCC. Where he belongs in the ratings I don't know or really care. His heart proved to be the largest part of him. Watching the Whitney I never thought he would get to QR who at that distance can be called formidable. · 181 days ago ·

Ever since I was a very young racing fan, I have always looked forward to The Fountain of Youth Stakes.
