No Wood for Circular Quay

[fpsoxfan]

Have been doing some race re-caps this morning and I'm really starting to be impressed with Circular Quay. I understand all of the Hoopla about the eight week vacation. There is no question that's a negative, but I see so many other positives.

1. Ran huge in the Louisiana Derby
2. Was ready to make a huge move in the Risen Star until he checked to
avoid the spill. Pletchers comments after the race.."I still would not
want to change places with anyone.
3. Had a horrible Breeders trip and still finished 2nd. He was making a strong
move until his jock took him 8 wide.

4. Breeding. Thunder Gulch

5. Has raced in several large fields. Was sitting dead last in the Juvenile.
Weaved his way through traffic until the bad decision to go that wide.


I hope that Great Hunter and Street Sense run like Affirmed Alydar this coming weekend. The better they run, the better the odds on Quay.
It's quite possible I could see 8-1 or better. Any thoughts?
