DEL MAR, Calif. – Between his running styles and his accomplishments, The Usual Q.T. seems to evolve every six months.
At this time last year, he was a maiden after six starts. By the beginning of 2010, he had won four stakes, highlighted by a victory in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby last fall. The Usual Q.T. has no stakes wins this year, but his style of running has changed, according to jockey Victor Espinoza.
