Missed the Cut (Quality Road), whose four wins from seven starts for trainer George Boughey included a victory in last year's Listed Churchill S. Over the Lingfield all-weather, was a useful second when making his American debut Sunday afternoon at Santa Anita in a one-mile allowance on the dirt.
Settled at the back of a four-horse field after breaking a half-step slowly, the 4-year-old came with a wide bid entering the final two furlongs, but could not sustain the rally and settled for a minor award as the evens favourite.
Most recently fourth in the G3 Neom Turf Cup (2100mT) in Saudi Arabia Feb. 25, Missed the Cut is now trained by Flightline conditioner John Sadler for a partnership that includes Lane's End Racing.
