The Donn

[drbillym]

Looking forward to any input as this looks like a good betting race, and that Quality Road is a bet against considering the extra weight and his history of physical and mental problems.  Delightful Kiss draws outside and does not seem to have enough conditioning-I am throwing him out.  Dry Martini used his last race simply as a prep for this-one mile was too short for him, yet he finished well and will definitely, in my opinion, this time finish ahead of Duke of Mischief, Kiss the Kid, and Mambo Meister, who finished 1-2-3 ahead of him. Past the Point ran lights out here last year and will hopefully press the pace with Quality Road, who got off with easy fractions last out.  A fast first half can set it up for a closer like Dry Martini, who is in the best condition of his 7 year old life.
I will box DM with QR, and play a tri key DM-All-All

From what i can remember the track at Gulfstream on the 10th was drying out and very tiring.

I would tend to downplay any heroics by horses that closed that day.

The key question here is, and many of you may know where I am going with this, is how long has Marty Wolfson had \"You and I Forever.\" I may be wrong, but I don\'t think he had him before this year.

Can anyone confirm?


Good Luck,

I am a Calder regular who has been dealing with the Wolfson factor for years and have an interest in this race as I own a piece of Mambo Meister.He has had YAIF for quite a while so I\'m hoping we have seen his best already.

if there is one thing i have learned wagering on horses is that when 3 and 4 year olds run against older horses the CLASS and experience of older horses becomes a dominant factor. with that being said i do not think QR and Dukee Boy will win.   Kiss the Kid has some nice efforts and should save enough ground to have a magical trip set up with speed up front sooooooo KTK all the waaaaay!

[covelj70]

I am on Kiss the Kid in the Donn as well if I get 8 to 1 or so.

2 points slower than QR\'s last but getting 1 pt worth of weight and should save ground all the way while others could lose quite a bit of ground with the short run to the first turn.

Likes a bit of moisture in the track as well.

[jbelfior]

thanks, Ray. I think MM has a big shot.


Good Luck,

according to these doubles it looks like QR is going to open up a 3/5 shot... ridiculous..

[devilinahorsesuit]

he\'s 1-9 currently...

[nyc1347]

hey cove we have 35-1 LOL   i think i could afford $20 across the board lol  maybe QR will take the 85ina50 route  =D

[devilinahorsesuit]

sorry guys, there\'s a new RACEHORSE in town... new track record.

[nyc1347]

2nd off the layoff was great.. guess we will seeeeee

[mjellish]

Wow, talk about Quality on the Road.

That\'s about as impressive a win as you will ever see.

Lays close to a 46 flat half mile and then still has enough to explode down the stretch and draw off from the closers.

Good Night Irene...

Can you imagine Rachel and he throwing down?

[nyc1347]

this gives more reason for oaklawn to make that $5 million race an invitational and have zenyatta in there with rachel and QR

[Silver Charm]

That was his 2nd Track Record in only 9 starts. And these are not at odd distances like 4 and half or at Bush Tracks:Saratoga and now Gulfstream.

Maybe someone else knows but it seemed like both those records had benn around a while also

This horse need to stay and learn his manners and then the Sky Is The Limit
