And the Steeplechase scene in HF changed when Black Quality IVE was exported and brought to Equine Revolution! Along with other PLACES and SHOWS not listed above, he has quite a wishy-washy and sporadic record that many 2004-2005 race horses experienced. Despite that, I don't think the random experiences could have prepared him he better for his soon-to-be Steeplechasing career. 2007 was hard core on 5 year old Black Quality, but with the past three months on rest and training, but no races, we feel that he's ready for the much longer distances of the 3-4 mile Steeplechasing courses. This year he will have three months back to back off starting in June, but the rest of his year will be strenuous, racing the longer distances every month. He will also be preparing for the BETFAIR MILLIONS series for the $1,000,000 bonus. We'll see what he has in store. This year could decide his distances next year, or possibly a chance at stud. Right now though, we want to strengthen a steady consistent record of racing rather than the sporadic that he has so well represented up to this point.
