Just for a moment, say this with your best impression of that deep-throated movie trailer guy:Hes won two races down the famous Flemington straight six including the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap. Hell be there from the half way line and beyond. He is .... The Quarterback.Whether that really worked for you or not, The Quarterback will have to be the most popular name (if you pick your horses like that) with that growing number of younger punters who like their NFL.The Quarterbacks sire is the American stallion Street Boss. Before he even hit the track and got the name with which he bursts through packs today, creative minds quickly got to work on the stars and stripes connection.His stable name as a young horse was always Bruce because of the boss Bruce Springsteen; he got that name in his very early days when they were breaking him in, The Quarterbacks trainer, Robbie Griffiths, recalled in reference to the period when young horses are in the first stages of their education.From that, The Quarterback name eventually came along to go with all of the other USA connections.Rated the $5.50 second favourite with UBET for the Group 1 Darley Classic at Flemington on Saturday, The Quarterback takes on smart opposition including five-time Group 1 winner Lankan Rupee and last-start Group 2 Caulfield Sprint winner Our Boy Malachi, the $4.60 favourite.Im really happy with him, Griffiths told ESPN from his training base in Cranbourne, an hour east of Melbourne. Hes always been a horse that weve been able to peak him on a particular day, and we did that on Oaks Day last year for the 1000 metre race, which he won.Then we planned to have him at his best in the Newmarket [in March] -- not knowing whether hed be good enough -- but he still gave us his best performance and won. Were hoping to achieve that same goal [on Saturday].Everything is falling into place to this point; it is just a question of whether he is good enough again. Its a crackerjack race and no Group 1 race is easy to win. This race has got a lot of depth to it especially with Lankan Rupee returning to racing in good order.dddddddddddd But our horse is ready to go and were hoping weve got the right one.While good form always plays a major part in being competitive in these races, The Quarterback has delivered especially when not expected to.His first up run was just brilliant in the Gilgai [Stakes at Flemington on 3 September] and then his run at Moonee Valley was fantastic [third in Manikato Stakes on Oct. 23] so hopefully we can be in the right place at the right time here. Fingers and toes, and everything, crossed.With nine wins and eight placings in 29 starts, including two wins over the straight Flemington 1200 metre course, The Quarterback has become somewhat of an all-American hero for his connections, particularly for Griffiths as the gelding provided him with his first Group 1 win as a trainer in the 2016 Newmarket Handicap in March.Most significantly, it was a special moment for a long-lasting friendship as highly respected form analyst Deane Lester is a part of The Quarterbacks ownership.From their initial meeting at morning trackwork at Cranbourne in 1982, when Griffiths was a budding apprentice jockey and Lester a horse strapper, they shared the thrill of winning at the highest level for the first time -- albeit a little later than Lesters initial prediction.We knocked on the door in 1994 when Id just turned 25; we had our first runner in a Group 1 race and ran third in the Toorak Handicap, Griffiths said of his stables first close encounter.Deane said if you got that close at your first attempt then a win is just around the corner. It was the ultimate early crow because it was 21 years before that win finally came.It is what it is and we really appreciated getting our first one but hopefully theres many more to come.The Darley Classic will be the final Group 1 race of the 2016 Spring Carnival.
