Circular Quay

[blackthroatedwind]

The reason I assumed he would run in the Preakness is Coolmore. At this point, winning the Preakness or Met Mile ( where IMO he should be running ) may be about the only reasonable spots left to increase his breeding value, as he obviously has absolutely no chance in the Belmont.

While Todd has who may be the Met favorite in Lawyer Ron, good luck to him, I am sure if Tabor/Coolmore wanted to run Circular Quay there he would be running....Lawyer Ron or not.

do you think they have an interest in beating Street Sense (who's sire is Street Cry)?

I wouldn't put anything past them. However, I think their main interest is in making Circular Quay worth as much as possible, which certainly makes perfect sense.

He'll never be worth more than he is now as most here would surmise. It is all downhill, until of course he runs poorly in Baltimore due to some phantom injury and promptly retires.

I won't be surprised if this is his final race. I agree with you, if he doesn't win, there is almost no chance he can increase his value, and most likely decrease it, and for that reason the phantom injury is probably coming.

Or perhaps they will need to rush him to stud should another one of their champions prove impotent.
