I do not have the luxury that some do of repeating unfounded rumors and I never repeat things I know in confidence.
Other than the Cigar Mile and King's Bishop, I doubt there is really a Grade 1 left for Circular Quay to win, and considering Coolmore's operation, with breeding dollars of the utmost importance, I don't see why they would risk devaluing a horse who has very little upside potential.
They took a shot in the Preakness, as it was really the only choice other than the Met Mile ( where he may well have been competitive ), in an attempt to increase his value. Sure, they can throw him in the Belmont and pray, but otherwise I doubt they will risk exposing him anymore.
