Quality Road captures Met Mile

Horseracing Betting Lines

05/31/2010 - Elmont, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Odds-on favorite Quality Road held off a late running Musket Man down the stretch to win Monday's $500,000 Metropolitan Handicap (Met Mile) at Belmont Park. The victory is the third of the year for the four-year-old colt.

Quality Road, second in the current NTRA Thoroughbred Poll, broke from the gate well and was joined on the lead by Westchester Handicap winner Le Grand Cru. Racing in second was Tizway with Kensei in fourth.

Le Grand Cru had a short lead over Quality Road early in the one turn mile. Jockey John Velazquez moved the favorite to the lead midway up the backstretch with Le Grand Cru in second followed by Tizway, Warrior's Reward and Kensei in the eight horse field.

Trained by Todd Pletcher, Quality Road had a clear lead around the final turn as Warrior's Reward tried to pressure the leader. Warrior's Reward could not keep up with the favorite as the field hit the stretch.

Quality Road looked to have an easy win at the top of the stretch until Musket Man and rider Ramon Dominguez appeared. Musket Man got to within a length of the leader, but Quality Road was able to hold him off.

Owned by Edward Evans, Quality Road hit the wire 1 1/4-lengths in front of Musket Man with Tizway finishing third. Rounding out the order of finish was Convocation, Le Grand Cru, Warrior's Reward, Kensei and You and I Forever.

The time for the Met Mile was 1:33.11 on a fast track.

Perfect in three starts this year, Quality Road adds $300,000 to his bankroll which now stands at better than $1.6 million. The colt has won seven of 10 career starts and was sent off Monday as the 1-5 favorite.

In February he won the Donn Handicap by more than a dozen lengths at Gulfstream Park. Quality Road began his 2010 season in January by taking the Hal's Hope Stakes at the south Florida track.

In 2009 as a three-year-old, Quality Road was on his way to the Kentucky Derby until an injury put him off the trail. He won the Fountain of Youth Stakes and Florida Derby at Gulfstream.

He returned with a victory in the Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga and was third to Summer Bird in the Travers. The colt was second behind Summer Bird in the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park. He was scratched at the gate prior to the Breeders' Cup Classic when he refused to be loaded.

Quality Road returned $2.50, $2.10 and $2.10. Musket Man paid $3.50 and $2.90, and Tizway paid $5.50 to show.
