HOWEVER, based on what I saw, CQ wasn't lacking room to get through, he just had to take the rail route to get there. More than anything, CQ showed he's fine dealing with traffic and getting dirt in his face.
Thanks for watching. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time, and appreciate your efforts, but merely trying to get you to look at it yourself.

He was definitely professional for a second time starter and showed more versatility than you normally see from young horses. I never said he wasn't a talented horse. I just don't agree with people that he so impressive that we should be declaring him the BC Juvie favorite when 95% of the contendors for that race haven't even raced yet.

The good 2YO racing will begin in earnest in a few weeks. Should be fun.
