Did Quality Road look great today? Sure. But really, who did he have running at him. He should have been expected to destroy this field. Quality Road's biggest problem is that he's a bit of a core specialist. He's only a beast at 8 or 9 furlongs. He's "iffy" at best at 10 furlongs. I wouldn't hang my hat on betting he'll win the Classic. Too many legitimate late closers that can handle 10 furlongs easily. He'd be much better off sent to the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile. Pletcher's too vain for that.
Another Gr1 win for this great horse !! That a boy, stay nice and clean in front of the pack.

Watch out Classic field, here he comes! He's outstanding, basically cruising! I think he can get that 1 1/4m.
