Let's handicap the Hals Hope?

I think Quality Road is a lock, but who do you like underneath? Can Harlem Rocker be thrown out somehow? Let's discuss this

Why would you think QR is a lock?? You can't throw anyone out, no guarantee that QR will get in the gate.

There looks to be a huge class difference. He was facing Summer Bird, Cpt Candy Man....and now the best horse he's facing is Harlem Rocker, who I've never thought highly of.

I think QR is a lock, but it always helps to hear other opinions

Letswastemoney? Did you use that as a name because that's what you do at the track? Or were you just trying to be funny?

It makes it difficult for me to take anything seriously with a screen name like that. Sorry.

QR is not a lock here. I have him in my exotics, but I like Le Grand Cru and Helsinki

I do think QR is pretty much a lock in this one. I also like Helsinki a lot underneath in exotics, but I don't see a way to bet this race unless you think you can beat QR. I don't, so I'll be sitting this one out. Good luck to you though.

Facing them, and running well with them are two different things. It remains to be seen what class level QR belongs in. I wouldn't bet that Quality road will beat Harlem Rocker and Congressional Page today.

Boxing the 1-2-7-8. Win on the 8

I'd say the fella is back. And in fine shape. Nice to see.

He is a fine specimen, hopefully in the coming months we will be able to witness his full talent. I'd like to see more of Congressional Page too.

But he did run well with them. Second in the G1 JCGC and 3rd in the Travers is better than anything else the field in the Hal's Hope had done

Harlem Rocker's Cigar Mile win was a G1, but that was to Tale of Ekati so I couldn't take that race too seriously
