Oracle thanks for mushing Circular Quay

[blackthroatedwind]

Perhaps Circular Quay didn't like Polytrack, I suppose it's possible that a close second place finisher doesn't like a surface, but to not at least entertain the possibility that Circular Quay is basically a closing sprinter flies in the face of logic. It's certainly no more illogical than chalking up Saturday's performance to a dislike of the surface.

He wasn't a close 2nd, and he was definitely no better than 3rd best considering the trip the third place horse had. We'll find out in the BC Juvy soon enough.

He finished second...obviously he wasn't second best.

Yer right....we will find out....assuming he makes it.

You know he has really done enough....maybe we'll retire him because he just he doesn't really like the polytrack and with all the tracks getting it we'll be better off in the shed....

Preventive measures.

It's the least they can do. Fragile thing that he is.

Wait ...maybe they'll fire the trainer and give him to Pletcher !!!

I believe he's a closing sprinter, not the worst thing in the world, if he progresses he could be very competitive in 7f to 1 turn miles...

Yeah, to me a "close" second would have to be a length or closer. Quay lost by 1 3/4 lengths.

Not to mention the fact that the people on the titanic had a btter trip than Street Sense did.
CQ never unwound likehe did before, his action was different, and he wasn't extending himself.

I watched the replay of Street Sense and the more I watch it the more I get pissed.
