I agree, but Tabor has got plenty of money, so I doubt they're retiring CQ this early so they can make him a stallion.
Although I fully understand that the 8-week to the Derby schedule is extremely questionable, I'm going to give Pletcher the benefit of the doubt on this one.
As others have said, CQ has plenty of bottom on him, having 7 career races.
I'd much rather see him fresh and ready on May 5th, than having him suffer an injury in a prep race and be forced off the derby trail.
