Quality Road's status for the Grade 1 Cigar Mile on Nov. 28 at Aqueduct has not been decided, trainer Todd Pletcher said Friday morning.

Gone Astray will seek his third straight stakes win in Saturday's Grade 3, $100,000 Discovery Handicap for 3-year-olds at Aqueduct.

Gone Astray faces five rivals in the 1 1/8-mile Discovery, including Haynesfield and Bad Action.
