Florida Derby Winner Quality Road Works at Saratoga For The Jim Dandy Stakes
Edward P. Evans’ Florida Derby winner Quality Road has been galloping steadily for race horse trainer Todd Pletcher and is on the verge of breezing as his connections look toward a possible start in the $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga Race Course on August 1.
“He’s fairly close to a breeze, probably some time in the next week or so,” said race horse trainer Todd Pletcher. “We’ve been working around a rain schedule, and he should be ready with a few more gallops on a good track.”
Quality Road was an early favorite for the Kentucky Derby while under the care of race horse trainer Jimmy Jerkens, but developed a quarter crack in his right front foot just before the race. Quality Road returned to the worktab on June 8, breezing 3 furlongs in 38.83, and was transferred from Jerkens to Pletcher the following week.
