Why did you have to do this to him?

[miraja2]

I would be surprised if any of the other connections even bring their horses! What would be the point? Especially horses like Street Sense and Great Hunter. Why would their connections even think their horses could beat CQ? Of course, I guess the fact that their horses already did defeat him might be something to think about...............nah. Just let him win it in a walkover.
Give me a break.

There are other good horses out there. I like Great Hunter, in particular. Anyway, I think Doug O'Neill will smell the roses; It will not be Todd Pletcher. O"Neill has plenty of ammunition.

I love CQ, but it's a little early to make predictions.

One good thing is that CQ is so relaxed early, that an unfavorable gate position might not hurt him. He's going to be last through the first 1/2 of the race no matter what.

But I agree. It's impossible for me to toss out Street Sense, Great hunter and Any Given Saturday until after the next round of preps are completed in about a month.

I said the same thing about Bandini when he was 3

That wouldn't prevent him from winning the Derby though.....

ok well since everyone is making predictions, he will not win the wood nobiz will and he will not be in the superfecta in the derby....i dont like his running style he will find trouble, and even if he dosent i still dont think he's good enough, i know his pedigree says he can go long and he'd be a classic race type horse, but i think he'd be a devestating miler type with his 1 big run, he could point to races such as the met mile, the carter and the new breeders cup dirt mile

Well, guess they can't all have as great a shot in the Derby as Bob and John, right?

You're probably on to something here...

For those interested, I just found out that CQ's horsehats.. hat.. will be available in a few weeks. BTW, should I pre-order one for you?

You may be right about finding trouble, but saying he'll be out of the superfecta is pretty bold, especially considering his record. Throw out the Risen Star when the jockey was thrown right in front of him, and he's never finished worse than 2nd. I think he's almost a lock to hit the board.

untill the risen star all he did was win sprints, he never won going long, he just won sprints, then in the risen star he gets dream setup, ketchecan goes very fast early and gives him a perfect setup, i dont think he will make the superfecta in the derby, just my opinion

How does Ravel being out help Pletcher win the big one? He is the trainer of Ravel. I think this helps O'Neill.
