He might be off to a good start, but he'll never be anything compared to Golden Missile as a sire.

Only time will tell. He has many years left to catch up with him.

The Golden Missle reference is one of the longest-running 'inside jokes' in Derby Trail lore.. I can't begin to explain. Should be safe to say that Quality Road will have a better stallion career than Golden Missle. He has already.

I will never forget Quality Road going bat$hit crazy at the post for the Classic. I hope he doesn't pass that trait to his offspring. I do think he was a talented horse, as well as a good-looking one.

Here are the final standings for the freshman sires of 2014. I think Super Saver had a better year than Quality Road. Half of Quality Road's money was from one horse (Hootenanny, who won the BC Juvenille turf). I think the two big duds were Eskenderaya and Blame, neither of whom even cracked the top 10.
