Circular Quay

Circular Quay is obviously a very nice 2-year-old, and the best thing about him is that he possesses a two-turn pedigree unlike the other nice juveniles we've seen thus far this summer (Other than Merv Griffin's Golden Missile colt)...he obviously likes CD with both wins coming there in a very professional manner from off the pace - which is not an easy thing for babies to do - and with the BC Juvy being in Louisville this year you certainly have to stamp him as the favorite until he is beaten...

Personally, I think there are horses out there that have shown more talent to this point - like his stablemates Minefield and Scat Daddy, but for a Thunder Gulch to go 1:09 and change in his second start as a two-year-old and beat Grade III horses in the process is impressive and a sign for things to come if he can stay sound....I promise you that this one won't prove to be most effective around one turn...

As for his race yesterday, he proved best late BUT he did get a little fortune....the race really set up for him with the quick and contested pace...

Nice colt...

This is kind of like when Jim Dolan promised Knick fans they would make the playoffs. It's not exactly a " promise " you can keep.

....It is a figure of speech, of course....

I'm not an Isiah Thomas fan so you can guess why I believe they have failed, but that is another story....If they have any small imagination at all that he can coach better than Larry Brown than they need to put down their crackpipes and try another sporting profession such as basket weaving or something...

Back to racing , Circular Quay is not only by Thunder Gulch...his first three broodmare sires are Belong to Me, Shadeed and Alydar....I would be confident in saying that he should not excel at six panels or any distance under a mile, but I've been wrong before

I'll tell you what, I will be far less surprised when Circular Quay wins a Grade 1 around two turns than I will be that he even made it that far. Personally I don't put a very high over/under on the number of starts he has left.

In fact, even the Knicks over/under is considerably higher for next season.

Do you know of soundness issues he has? Unlike most babies that run at CD, I have never seen this horse in person in the paddock...I missed both of his races....is he a pretsel or something?

I have zero inside information about this horse ( I rarely have any specific info about horses.....or at least correct info. I get plenty of bad information ).

Win early 2YOs just don't seem to stick around and their record from that barn is not good. I hope I'm wrong and he hangs around for years and does well.

Statistically speaking you are probably right on this one.

It appears that we have a lot of people who either married people in the business, or know people in the business. And if you don't love the horses associated with these people, or the trainer that these people use, you are definitely a bad person, lol. And Heaven forbid you get excited about a horse that these peoples spouses or friends have nothing to do with, or about a horse that their spouse or friends dont employ.
The sad part is that these guys dont know a damn thing and their posts make that quite obvious. High Finance in the Belmont Hoist? What were you drinking that day? Please spare me teh attempts at feigning as if you have any idea whatsoever waht you are talking about.
Tell you what, why dont you and Bold Ruler get together, put together a list of horses and trainers we are allowed to root for, and get back to us so that we can comply with your wishes.
No wait on 2nd thought Hoist, go and get your ******* shinebox.

Actually you were the one who said the two year old division was wrapped up by this horse. So I guess all people involved with 2yr olds should just give up. I don't remember who I picked in the Belmont but I don't ever see you picking anything until after the race. Let me guess, you are one of those people that go back and research everyones posts so you can call them idiots but forget your own posts. Heh, not your fault, I am sure it stems from your childhood.
