It appears that Pletcher has found some of that Lawyer Ron elixir laying around. Would be interesting to see what kind of run QR puts in in the Travers. Stretchout not an issue, in this case.

The difference is that Quality Road was a good horse before Pletcher got him. Lawyer Ron was a wayward minor graded stakes competitor.
I've always subscribed to the theory that Lawyer Ron needed a stronger rider and a more relaxed regimen and he got that moving to Pletcher's barn.
