Finishing second in 2 G1 routes hardly marks a horse as a "failure" at a route. No one was beating SS in the Juvie, but he was closest at the end. If a criticism was to be made it would be for the race at KEE, where so many closers held the adbatage and he was beaten by Great Hunter.
I like CQ but I'm not handing him the gold trophy quite yet. I don't think he's a closing sprinter though either.
