We'll see what happens. I'm never overimpressed by big maiden wins where talent just overwhelms in runaway style. Never. I am also as likely to bet against a 99 debut-beyer second out horse as I am to pass the race. It's interesting, but horses that debut so high beyer-wise in free-running fashion often have a hard time running back to their number. So, beware. On the other hand, CQ did do some running yesterday where he had to make something happen and he showed some athleticism doing it. Great colt? Who knows? Very nice performance though.
