Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 2, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 2, 2019 QUALITY RESPONSE (f, 2, Quality Road–Argue, by Storm Cat) chased a fast pace while wide and drew clear powerfully in the lane to become the latest ‘TDN Rising Star’ for Bob Baffert at Del Mar Sunday afternoon. Showing plenty of speed in the mornings at Los Alamitos, the $200,000 KEESEP grad scaled it back with three relatively modest works over the local main track, most recently going five furlongs in 1:01 flat (11/54) Aug. 26. A bit overlooked at 5-1 while the money poured in on 3-2 favorite and barnmate Scarlet Lips (Malibu Moon), Quality Response broke running and chased from a close third while three deep past a sharp :21.75 quarter. Cruising to the lead three-sixteenths from home, she displayed an impressive turn of foot when set down by Joe Talamo and quickly removed any doubt of the result before rambling home a 7 1/2-length winner in 1:04.95. Scarlet Lips finished strongly to be second after being sluggish early. Quality Response shares a sire, breeder and trainer with GISW ‘Rising Star’ Roadster. Her second dam is a half-sister to MGSW/MGISP sire E Dubai (Mr. Prospector) and No Matter What (Nureyev), the GISW dam of European champion Rainbow View (Dynaformer). Sales History: $200,000 Ylg ’18 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,600. O-Pegram, Watson or Weitman; B-Stone Farm (KY); T-Bob Baffert.
