In my opinion the blinkers were the difference for him that day, he basically put Garrett into the race early on without being asked, really it was quite surprising to see him that close to the pace that day, the best comparison I remember this happening to a horse with a simular profile was Aptitude. When Frankel put the blinkers on him he raced like a different horse. I can see Circular Quay having a good year in a otherwise weak division with the exception of Curlin if he can run races like he did at the Fairgrounds.
