Consistency paid off for Print Quality as the Anthony Dixon trainee got up in time to beat rivals in a native-bred four-year-old and upwards (non-winners of two) and imported four-year-olds and upwards (maidens) at 5 ½ furlongs on Saturday, September 30, 2023.
With Anthony Allen in the saddle, Print Quality settled among the backmarkers as Storm A Come (Jordan Barrett) set the early fractions. Salud (Dane Dawkins), Cotterwood Kathy (Tevin Foster), and Minidewak (Javaniel Patterson) chased the leader into the half-mile turn.
Print Quality slowed rounded horses coming into the lane but was still off the leaders as Storm A Come and Salud battled for supremacy. Inside the final furlong, Allen produced the four-year-old bay gelding for an effort which resulted in victory by a neck.
Storm A Come was second and Heroine (Oshane Nugent) third. The final time was recorded at 1:09.2 (23.2 x 47.1).
