I don't know if that is a fair comparison given that Aldebaran was by Mr. P. and CQ is by Thunder Gulch.
We all know that pedigree does not guarantee anything, but one of the things that has been exciting about CQ from the begining is that he was very effective in one-turn races, and yet he was by a horse in Thunder Gulch that showed real quality at 10f (and beyond), and had already sired a multiple-classic winner in Point Given. Does this ensure that CQ will like going 9f or further? No, but it does make it more likely.
