his 3-2-0 record in 5 starts...
2 Graded Stakes wins (including a G.1) 2 Graded Stakes placings (including a 2nd in the BC Juvy) ... how many horses have a better resume? I know some believe he may have distance limitations, I don't think that's been proven at all yet. Maybe he doesn't improve as a 3YO, I think he will and I think he's got to be considered at least a threat in the Derby(as of now), if not a top contender to win it.

Circular Quay reminds me a lot of his mother......I thought his race in the Juvenile was lousy and I just don't see him getting much better with age or added distance.

Circular Quay has the RAN curse. He won't win the derby.

Boy, we disagree on that for sure. He and Street Sense moved together pretty much in tandem, the major difference being CQ took the circle route on the turn and SS cut the corner along the rail. Why do you say his Juvy race was lousy?

He got a dream pace setup in a collapsing race......he and Street Sense were fortunate enough to be racing 13th and 14th (last and 2nd to last) early on, behind that insanely fast pace.
I agree that Street Sense had the better trip of the two---however, with the kind of setup Circular Quay got...he should have been running on MUCH stronger than he was through the lane in my opinion.

You know, I agree with you on that. I thought CQ really flattened out in the stretch even though he still got by the rest of the field. Was it because of the wide trip, or did he not like the distance... or was it something else? I want to see him try it again, I'm hoping he shows a better sustained drive through the stretch next time.

His mother was 3-for-5 with a 2nd place finish in sprint races...including a Grade 1 win at Saratoga, going 7 furlongs, and beating Surfside. She ran four times in route races, and never finished 1st or 2nd.
She was also trained by Pletcher. She also sold for $700K at a 2-year-old in training sale....after a very fast work.
