No Wood for Circular Quay

I hope Circular Quay isn't being kept out of any preps in order to enhance the chances of another Pletcher horse getting enough earnings for the Derby. To rob fans of matchups of top horses because he is training too many good horses is a very unfortunate price for racing to pay and a bad indicator for the future.

I agree.

CQ, was on the top of my Derby Trail horses (like most other people). With the move being made (i hate to say this) but i would rather hear that he is infact off the Derby Trail. 8 weeks without a race and skipping your last prep to be replaced by a stablemate sounds really fishy. I also hope this isn't a way for some of Pletcher's other stock to get graded earnings.

How can you have confidence in a horse that's been shelved for 8 weeks prior to the biggest race of his career?

It is Pletcher, really can't question him. It will help his odds.....The horse is a light framed horse so maybe it took alot out of him, who knows
