Why rush for this spot, when you can train up and make a good run in the Belmont.

I'm not sure 1-1/2 miles is right up CQ's alley.
And the same owners (tabor) are sending rags to riches, so I'm not sure it makes much sense to place him there even if he does fit that track/race better.

I'm not saying CQ is a lock in the preakness, I just think he adds another interesting element to what was shaping up to be a fairly weak and predictably chalky race. Especially with Chelokee passing on it.
