Remove any one of the other horses from that race, and it doesn't affect the shape in any way nearly as dramatic as losing the talented pacesetter.
Incredibly hard to say, with any certainty, how the race pans out if run on the square with Silver Lord up front.

It's easier to argue that his absense helped Grasshopper. Though, with Magna Graduate dogging him it didn't work out that way. However, all things considered, Magna Graduate was obviously in there to dog him regardless. If Silver Lord had actually raced it probably only helps Circular Quay even more.
But, what do I know? Let's all wait to hear from BBB.......and see what they think. You have to admire a guy who has made zero winning selections in a year and a half and yet still talks down to people.
