Mine That Bird needs to be whipped a little at the beginning of the race to give him the message that he should run with the leaders. If you leave the horse on its own, he will settle into last place out of memory. It is time to give the horse a different jockey in order to change his outlook and running style.

is it just me or did the rider on Quality Road stop ridig half way through the stretch?

@clarkmccormick - Really?..A world champion Horse first go on a Cuppy oval dirt track and your so quick to just dismiss his class. He is a dual Continent GR1 Winner....8 in total. So because some one disagree's with your racing you really feel the need to discredit horses bred in New Zealand, or Australia?. Watch on Dubai World Cup night, and watch them probably win both Sprint races, and probably the World Cup too. With Sepoy, Black Caviar and So You Think.

Your racecallers in the US are not my favourite drink. If you want to see some great horse action, do a search for videos on Black Caviar and So You Think.

Really classy colt, Blame is. I knew when I saw him beat Quality Road at 1-1/8, which was certainly not an easy task, that he would have what it took to really push Zenyatta in the Classic as long as 1-1/4 was in his wheelhouse. Which, as we now know, it was. Especially going on the surface at Churchill Downs. Which has always been the most successful racetrack of Blame's career.

Like I sadi all along, Quality Road looked great beating up on absolute garbage at Gulfstream earlier in the year, put him up against a decent foe at 1 /8th and he loses. Any hypester who thought this horse would be effective at 1 1/4 in the BC Classic when he could not even hold on at 1 1/8th after setting snail like fractions needed a Pletcher Drug Test, lol.

the jockey of quality road it was watching behind all the time he was worried about the other horses may be running with blame.

QR had the dirt mile on a platter and yet Pletcher is going for the Classic. He knows more than any of us do about QR's ability, it will be a great training performance if he is to pull off a win. Everything about that horse tells me he will not run out a strong 10f......

@Kulaness I think they put to much stress on MTB to early on in the season. They stuck him in a turf race, when he's never trained on turf in his life and after he disliked synthetic. Then he was put right into the Whitney with Blame Quality Road and other top horses, without getting any races for him to sharpen him up. I think that the trainer Chip Wooley suited well with MTB and should have stuck with him. I think he would have tried to race him at Sunland or somewhere down in New Mexico.

QR wants no part of 1 1/4. Anyone playing QR in the BC Classic deserves to be parted with their cash, period. This horse got as easy a lead as you could ask in this race 24 1/4, 48 1/2 1:12 6 furlongs and he still got beat. Sorry dreamers, but there is no way the BC Classic goes in 48 and 1 :12. QR should be entered in the BC Mile, he doesn't want 1 1/4.
