The Usual Q.T. won four stakes on turf in the final three months of 2009, going from being just a California-bred stakes winner in October to the winner of three graded stakes by Christmas.

Next is a challenge that could lead to even bigger prizes. The Usual Q.T. makes his synthetic-track stakes debut in Saturday's $500,000 Sunshine Millions Classic over 1 1/8 miles at Santa Anita, a race that could lead to a start in the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 6.
