Watch Circular Quay on the keeneland futurity race view, and head-on view in that race. He is going to make a run, and when he is about to swing outside he is completely trapped into the turn, slams out against the horse who trapped him inside several times throughout the turn, finally breaks out of that and still gets 2nd. Much the best in that race.
Street Sense had to go wide and he is a much better dirt horse than polytrack so it was a good effort for him as well.
There is also a nice overhead shot of CQ getting trapped on one of the old wire-to-wire videos or else in a preview to the risen star.
