Many are concerned with a potential injury to one of the Kentucky Derby favorites but Quality Road is the best of them all.
Quality Road has everything you’d look for in a potential Kentucky Derby winner with a great pedigree, excellent finishes, awesome recent works, and an experienced jockey who has competed with the best of the best in the Kentucky Derby lineup 10 times now.
The pedigree comes from sire Elusive Quality who was incredible at longer races while setting two track records over his career.
Smarty Jones was the 1st Elusive Quality horse to beat out the Kentucky Derby lineup (2004) and Quality Road has an incredible shot to be #2.
Quality Road would likely be the highest of the Kentucky Derby favorites if he was completely healthy but he has a small crack in his on his right-hind quarter that has kept the price on him close to 6/1 at many sportsbooks.
The thing about that crack is that the trainers are saying it’s not something that will affect the horse at all and have called the injury similar to the one Big Brown had going into this race last year.
