Circular Quay

[ateamstupid]

The way I feel about CQ is that, at least sprinting, he has one very impressive furlong in him. In his debut, he used that impressive furlong to accelerate and blow away the maidens he was facing in the stretch. Today, he used that furlong to make up a lot of ground on some very nice 2-year-olds.

I'm not as impressed with CQ as I am with his turn of foot. He's got an uncanny ability to turn it on at the right time, and I think that's more valuable than anything with these immature babies.

Black, I totally see your point about the times, but I just feel like this horse has a last 1/8th in him like I've never (or at least hardly ever) seen in a 2-year-old. One of us will be proven right this summer, and I look forward to seeing CQ contest The Sanford and/or The Hopeful.
