He's my early pick for the Cigar Mile.

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.
