10/3 (BEL): JCGC, Hirsch, Beldame, Flower Bowl, Vosburgh (G1's)

Summer Bird won today and he deserves credit. But Quality Road - for all the detractors and naysayers - ran huge. 10 furlongs is a tad too far for him, and that's okay. He broke outside, prompted the pace while rank, took over, and held Summer Bird at bay from the half-mile pole to just past mid-stretch. It's not like he was dusted a gave-up.

He's my early pick for the Cigar Mile.

A one turn mile could be Munnings best distance

Munnings needs a dry track.

I hadn't realized this and thought it was cool.

Interpatation, whose last two wins had come in back-to-back renewals of the Larry R. Riviello Presidents Cup at Philadelphia Park in 2006-07, finished fourth at 28-1 in the 2006 Turf Classic, third at 19-1 two years ago, and was second at 16-1 last year.

Beautiful win by Summer Bird.

QR ran well Travis, better than I thought he would at 1 1/4, Summer Bird was good today, I'll have to look at the race again but I really expected him to blow the field away and would have done so had QR not had run so big. Onto the Classic and if he can win the race first and with some authority he may get a few HOY votes thrown his way, nonetheless it was a historical win today.
