Other than the Cigar Mile and King's Bishop, I doubt there is really a Grade 1 left for Circular Quay to win, and considering Coolmore's operation, with breeding dollars of the utmost importance, I don't see why they would risk devaluing a horse who has very little upside potential.
They took a shot in the Preakness, as it was really the only choice other than the Met Mile ( where he may well have been competitive ), in an attempt to increase his value. Sure, they can throw him in the Belmont and pray, but otherwise I doubt they will risk exposing him anymore.

Their decision to skip the Wood (assuming he truly was capable of running there) keeps looking more and more foolish everyday. He would have only had to outclose Sightseeing and he'd be a G1 winner at 2 and 3 and a wet dream for Coolmore as a stallion.
