A scale of like and don't like just seems far too mild to express your opinions.

I hear ya. I'm not a fan of Circular Quay either but mostly because of undeserved accolades placed on him. To me he has never run a particularly good race and all his accomplishments were when he was the beneficiary of perfect setups. To me he has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that while a talented horse he is nowhere near as good as some claimed early in his career. Frankly, in his two biggest races he moved right with the eventual winner, Street Sense both times, and got drowned.
I guess I would say I have " hated his chances " in many races......not him. I am, however, sorry that he has not run in more appropriate spots as I am at least curious as to how he would have done.
