Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 31, 2020 Journalists Share Posted January 31, 2020 Speedway Stable’s Roadster (Quality Road) looks to kick off 2020 on the right hoof Saturday in the GII San Pasqual S. at Santa Anita. The ‘TDN Rising Star’ has not visited the winner’s circle since denying champion stablemate Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}) in the track-and-trip GI Santa Anita Derby last April. Second behind fellow Baffert trainee and recent GI Pegasus World Cup romper Mucho Gusto (Mucho Macho Man) in the GIII Affirmed S. in Arcadia in June, the gray was given the rest of the summer off and came up a nose short next out in the Damascus S. here Nov. 2. Fourth behind the re-opposing Midcourt (Midnight Lute) in Del Mar’s GIII Native Diver S. three weeks later, Roadster was last seen filling the place spot behind Omaha Beach (War Front) in the GI Malibu S. Dec. 28. “I got the damn rail again,” trainer Bob Baffert told the Santa Anita notes team. “This horse is doing really well. He got too far back early in that race [the Malibu], but he came running. I’d like to see him in the race a little more…I’m happy to see we got a large field.” Midcourt enters off a third in the Dec. 28 GII San Antonio S. and that race’s runner-up King Abner (Hansen) also returns here.
