Quick Enough just that in Morvich

Quick Enough, the 5-2 second choice, paid $7.60, $4 and $2.80. Dilemma

returned $14 and $6.40, with Scenic Blast worth $2.60. The $1 exotics paid $59

(exacta), $195.10 (trifecta) and $840.70 (6-7-3-4 superfecta).

Quick Enough did not debut until October of his three-year-old year in 2007,

when he won at first asking over the Santa Anita main track for a $40,000 tag.

He would not debut on grass until the following February, which he took an

immediately liking to in beating starter allowance foes. A winner in three of

four starts in 2008, Quick Enough raced only twice in 2009, finishing third in

both, but resumed his winning ways on July 25 at Del Mar following a layoff of

nearly 15 months. He was claimed from both that win, for $32,000, and the next

for $40,000 by current owners Michael Bello, Russell Sarno and Pablo Suarez.

New trainer Doug O'Neill next ran him in Del Mar's premier grass sprint, the

Green Flash H., and the gelding responded with a dead-heat second by a nose to

Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner California Flag (Avenue of Flags). Never worse

than third on turf and now possessing a career mark of 14-7-3-3, Quick Enough

has bankrolled $278,120.

"Well, we're in the (Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint [G2] at Churchill Downs

November 6)," O'Neill said. "Now all we need is for one of these guys (the

owners) to write a big check. Other than that, it's a strong possibility he's

going to go. We had talked to the Sarnos and the Suarezs that if he won today

and came out of it good, that they would be okay writing a check."

Bred in California by Harris Farms, Quick Enough was produced by the winning

Donna B. Quick (Moscow Ballet), also the dam of the stakes-placed Croxie (Redattore

[Brz]), the unraced juvenile Quick Save (Redattore [Brz]), a yearling colt by In

Excess (Ire) and a weanling colt by Lucky J. H. Donna B. Quick is a half-sister

to 2002 California Cup Sprint winner Unlimited Value (Present Value).
