I think you are all overlooking an obvious reason Circular Quay didn't win at Kee on Saturday. If you watched the race or read the chart, you would see that he and Great Hunter were moving at the same time on the turn, when Great Hunter bulled his way through between the horse inside him and CQ on the outside. Now CQ is a little guy and he got bumped more than once by GH, at which point he seemed to stall - probably got the wind knocked out of him a bit. But he recovered and came again, although it was too late. I was surprised that there was no inquiry on the race, but I guess because the finish wasn't close...., or maybe it was the inside horse coming out on the turn that closed the hole and started a chain reaction.
