If QR is done for this year (and he very well may not be), will it be fair to ask the question then?
This was a rush job. Pletcher has essentially conceded that. If the horse is out because of it, presumably even you will concede it was not the wisest course. I am just saying it now.

i questioned it in every thread. its just horseplayer common sense. yet, 3 out of 4 public handicappers were picking QR. if you compared form in the pp's how do you come up with 6-5 on this horse? other than the hype. summer bird, the derby, win in the belmont, second in the haskell. hes a birdstone so a mile and a eighth is not even his best distance. now hes going a mile and a quarter at the travers his father just won! meanwhile QR won the amsterdam but had not raced in months now hes going to go to the travers, a distance hes NEVER been. personally , i thought anyone taking those odds with those facts was pushing it just a little bit. there was even one thread that said mine that bird would take dumb money and QR would be a good price. QR was a BAD price and could not even beat hold me back!
