What the Nation is saying about Elusive Quality...

My quest to find a few suitable stallions for 2012 Breeder's Cup Filly and Mare Sprint winner, Groupie Doll. Some choices are obvious, but at least one will certainly surprise you.Read More

This is a grade III winner. I don't think he's better than Funny Cide. A horse can't deserve greatness just because his son (in this case Smarty Jones) almost won the Triple Crown. Elusive Quality should have won a grade II or higher to be where he is.
Anyone know if there is any other pictures of this horse? http://www.flickr.com/photos/7500387@N04/6148640240/in/photostream

Bethany (Dayjur-Willamae, by Tentam), the dam of Met Mile (G1) winner Tizway, had good reasons for failing to produce a foal of any merit until her sixth season as a broodmare–I mean, besides her body refusing to cooperate in her fourth and fifth seasons. Or maybe she…Read More
  • xMystix · Haha! This is quite a hilarious read. Hopefully, Bethany will find success again with Tiznow. If I read this piece correctly, she went back to Tiznow in 2010, so she should have foaled sometime this year? Does anyone know? · 749 days ago ·
