I hope Circular Quay isn't being kept out of any preps in order to enhance the chances of another Pletcher horse getting enough earnings for the Derby. To rob fans of matchups of top horses because he is training too many good horses is a very unfortunate price for racing to pay and a bad indicator for the future.

If that was the case, and I was the owner of CQ, he'd be yanked from Pletcher's barn so fast his head would spin...I would borrow my buddies flatbed truck if I had to...Its safe to say that no horse will ever win the derby off of a 2 month layoff..No way, no how, unless he's a monster amongst stuffed animals...You take all chances away of him being primed for the big race.. A big disservice would be done to the owners of CQ if he was held out of the Wood because of a stablemates earnings (or lack thereof)...I would say "Let's hope thats not the case", but if it wasnt the horse would have soundness issues...
Let's hope that's not the case
