and besides that he has not really done a thing in my opinion, his bc juvenile race was not that impressive

Did he not do what he was supposed to do then? He absolutely walked out of the gate then won going away after enjoying a hot pace. He was supposed to inhale the field and he did. As far as one-turn performances go last year, it was up there in my opinion, along with Scat Daddy/Nobiz in the Champagne. Of course, that's my opinion.

The circumstances of that race were such that he was going to get the trip/setup of a lifetime.

He took full advantage....certainly making the best of it. However, when he got a similar dream setup in the Breeders Cup Juvenile, in a route race, he was smoked and ran an awful 2nd.

When you consider his mother was 5-3-1-0 lifetime sprinting...and was a winner of the Grade 1 Spinaway (the female equivlant of the Hopeful) and that she made 5 career starts routing, and never ran better than 3rd....I think it becomes harder to like CQ's chances at a Classic distance. Even though his sire is a Derby winner
