The over-hyped on Quality Road comes from his odds, which were probably a bit low. Betting against him was an easy 1-2-3 given the setup and scenario though, so the negative reactions are kinda lame in my opinion.
He ran really well and discounting him just because he couldn't win the 10 furlong Travers off a 6 1/2 furlong prep which was his first race since March seems shortsighted. Not to mention he hasn't gone two turns since March either.
