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.
