i was very surprised with the speed Q.C showed....... i dont know if it was the blinkers or if he just loves the fairgrounds. bottom line is it was a fine performance, it seems that whatever a horse does some folks always want to down grade it:confused:

happen to be listening to the down the stretch radio show on sirius on saturday and they thought his chances were literally laughable and made it sound like he should be 99-1. of course we are all wrong more than right in horeracing but i thought their assessment was odd considering who entered the horse

He was a decent two year old...his Louisiana Derby was a bit impressive...always seemed WAY too far back in all his races. It was nice to see him up on the pace for a change pulling Gomez.

Never Liked, Or Bet This Horse. I Bet Black Ruby Could Beat Him!

Ole' Black Ruby... Won 61 outta 73 races. Been awhile since I heard her name..

In my opinion the blinkers were the difference for him that day, he basically put Garrett into the race early on without being asked, really it was quite surprising to see him that close to the pace that day, the best comparison I remember this happening to a horse with a simular profile was Aptitude. When Frankel put the blinkers on him he raced like a different horse. I can see Circular Quay having a good year in a otherwise weak division with the exception of Curlin if he can run races like he did at the Fairgrounds.
