2010 EDDIE READ STAKES (G1) $300,000 FEATURING THE USUAL Q. T.

7 rivals went to post in 2010 running of the Eddie Read Stakes at The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on July 24. 2010. Multiple grade 1 stakes winners Acclamation, Victor's Cry, and The Usual Q. T. we among top two choices in what looked to be a very competitive race on paper. By the time The Usual Q. T. hit the finish line, track announcer Trevor Denman called his stretch run "scintillating" and he was a run away winner. Owned by Don Van, Michael Nentwig, Jeff Byer et al, The Usual Q. T. is a gelding by the outstanding CA sire Unusual Heat. This was his second grade 1 stakes win and the final win of his career.
