I'm more worried of Macho Again frankly, I think Summer Bird will have no trouble with Quality Road.

agreed. Summer Bird may have trouble with Quality Road at 9 furlongs, but at 10 I wouldnt think as much.

Think its a 2 horse race between Summer Bird and Macho Again.

I think Summer Bird is a much better horse now than he was in the Derby and Belmont, he's never going to be a wire to wire speed horse, but he's taken a big jump from being a stone dead closer to a horse that can lay closer to the pace and just gallop his competition into the ground, even if Quality Road has the lead, Summer Bird can just lay off of him causing him to run faster than he wants to and basically go by when he wants to, this is where the danger of Macho Again comes in, if Kent D pushes too early it may set it up for a late closer who is being reserved to make one late run.
