Perhaps it was polytrack that did Circular Quay in, though he seemed to run OK, and I would say there is a possibility based on yesterday that he was exposed as a closing sprinter or an overrated horse that benefited from perfect set ups in his wins.

I had $400 to win on Street Sense (the third place horse). I was not very happy with the trip that horse recieved. There is tons of room for improvement on his end.
We talked about Quay only being a closing sprinter. We actually compared Quay to Sun King. I won't be betting Quay for a very long time. In fact, I think we won't even see this horse come triple crown time. He might be one of the two year olds that were head and shoulders above everyone else in the spring and summer. Then in the fall everyone else caught up to him.
