Dunkirk ran well but Quality Road ran a monster race in the Florida Derby.
Dunkirk has shown a lot of promise but a track record effort for Quality Road, a pretty and fast son of Elusive Quality out of a daughter of Strawberry Road. Casey's On Call set the early pace, with Dunkirk, a $3.7 million yearling making his third start, threatened but finished a tired second.
Quality Road heads to Kentucky with 3 wins and a second from 4 starts and a 1 1/8 mile track record at Gulfstream of 1:47.72 He's clearly got the speed, he's got time until the Derby and he's a legitimate horse to go.
