Scat Daddy or Circular Quay?

Actually, I thought Circular Quay's action was very subpar...he is a nice horse and I think he'll definately go longer, but he is pretty hard on himself with his high action and is not the most efficient mover....watch him Monday...he kicks those front legs up pretty high.....

Scat Daddy has a beautiful long stride and is just a better looking horse period...I think his upside is much greater...I think the horse won on pure ability last out when most two-year-olds would have packed it in with the inside, green journey while taking dirt that is not advantageous to juveniles because of their lack of seasoning....

He has that very classy appearance about him...his eye...the way he carries himself...watching how he trains and does his job....I just think he is a good horse...

Did you think the same about Barbaro's action?

The Lukas horse will go to the lead and make them catch him. How good is speed holding up at the Spa is the real ?

CQ looks just fine with my money on him again. Thanks

Yeah, isn't he broke down?

are you implying that barbaro's leg action had anything to do with his breakdown?

No, just also acknowledging that nobody knows if it did or didn't.... ...Bottomline is: Horses with bad action that are fast rarely adds up to a formula of health success throughout a career...both Barbaro's and Circular Quay's biomechanics are such that cause a lot of unnessecary stress to the legs...it is pure physics and fact....

This comment comes from someone purporting to be a knowledgeable analyst?

I didn't mean that Circular Quay was as good as Barbaro. I thought his action was high also.

Yes, both of their actions are extremely high and not condcuive to remaining sound up front....thats not to say he will break down though....just pointing out his defficiencies....
