In what can only be considered as more bad luck from the racing Gods, Quality Road has developed a crack in his right hind hoof. By all accounts, it appears that the crack was caught before any infection set in, and a patch should have him up and breezing again within days.
Unfortunately, this is the second crack the Florida Derby winning colt has developed this year. Trainer Jimmy Jerkins has said that the colt does not appear to show any soreness from the injury, but nonetheless, it leaves little time for recovery.
Let's hope that this potential superstar will still be healthy and able to make the start at the Kentucky Derby. He has certainly earned his position, and the race would be worse off without him in the field.
