Folks it is all over. If you have to be sold you are just never going to get it. This horse works out faster than most are running in their races. Ask yourself this ... when was the last time Friesan Fire ran a 112 in a race ?

maybe if jerk-inns had a little more foundation under him he could rate,......... rush rush rush that all these guys do now-a-day your nag is heading in the same direction as big brown.........i think he is one of the best in the race but has a couple dents in armor.... i he offers no value... he should sit this one out and bang the next leg but ...they want it all.....
Quality Road, who suffered a quarter crack in his victory in the Florida Derby (gr. I), turned in a sharp six-furlong work in 1:12 2/5 Friday over the Belmont training track.
With exercise rider Juan Moreno aboard, the son of Elusive Quality went easy the first part and finished up strong, according to trainer Jimmy Jerkens.
“He went three-quarters in 1:12 2/5 and galloped out in just under 1:26,” Jerkens said. “The track was very fast, but he did it really well and came back great. We just washed his legs and had him out in the sun and everything looks good. He looks like he’s holding his flesh pretty good, so, we should be in good shape.
“He’ll have another work similar to what he had today before shipping to Kentucky. I wanted to go a little earlier this time in case things didn’t go according to plan with the weather. Now, if I have to wait an extra day or two that’ll be fine.
Jerkens said he still plans on shipping Quality Road to Churchill the Tuesday before the Derby.
“We flew him up from up here from Florida, and if it had looked like he got a little shook up from traveling we probably would have gone down a little earlier, but it looks like he doesn’t care about it one way or the other, so I think we’ll be OK just waiting until Tuesday. I’d rather do that. I really don’t see much benefit in being there. All I keep in my mind is when I went down to Churchill for the Breeders’ Cup with my dad’s two horses, Devil His Due and Sky Beauty. We went there three weeks early and you couldn’t have two horses run any worse. Neither one of them picked their feet up; so much for shipping early.”
Quality Road has shown no effects from the quarter crack since having a patch put on last week by hoof specialist Ian McKinlay
“I stopped by the barn (Wednesday) and his foot was ice cold,” McKinlay said. “He was walking inside the barn and he was perfectly sound. There’s no sensitivity, and I would say it’s a done deal.”
Quality Road worked over the Belmont training track in :48 3/5 last week.
I like QR alot also, and what scares me the most is the lack of pace in the race now and I don't really know if he can take them gate to wire with only 1 two turn race under his belt. This is going to be one exciting derby.

Just Out Of Curiosity As Allen Jerkens Ever Trained A Derby Winner ?? I Dont Remember Any.........................................."family Tradition " ???????????????????????????????????????????
U the MAN !!!! Thank you hue I could use a new viking hat.... hey the draft is coming up I hope the vikings get a good offensive tackle. Well... we all know I have the top of my ticket worked out now its time to figure out the rest.
I believe Dunkirk is going to hit the board so I am left with 2 more horses to finish my Super tickets.
So far I have Musket Man, CC, Papa Clem, Desert Party, and Pioneer of the Nile. I left out FF and IWR because I just do not believe they are better than what I have.:lipssealed:
the more you post the more i think your a 13 year old kid THAT IS PLAYING US AND is going to dad a asking who he likes in the derby or looking it the paper please get off the topic and move on before you wet your pants how about the big race tomorrow at kee-land... your last picks were klunkers ...lets move on please... your Putting a sour taste in my head about q-road... and by the way not that i like PON BUT HE IS A DUAL QUIF.. he a young three year old and still losing his baby teeth they changed his bit (the thing in his mouth) from a ring bit to D-bit a softer bit.. so he can relax and his work was 24, 46. 58.4... gallop out in what 1:11 and change or 1:12 .and the good thing he getting a new jock because gomez got no balls to ride this ball of fire he a freak like big oak....first turn slug fest ......as the guy says in the octAgon,,,,,,,,,,LETS GET IT ON...
The big race tomorrow at Keeneland I am going with Omniscient. Asmussen should have him ready to run off his back to back wins and he shows 4 solid works since his last outing including a 6 furlong bullet at the track.
Beyer wise if he improves he should be tough to catch coming home he will need that strong closing kick to pull off the upset.
