If TP is trying to avoid the polytrack, his options are certainly limited for these two when taking race timing into account as a prep for the BC Juvy. Scat Daddy's only real shot at a GI before the BC looks like the Champagne. And CQ's only realistic race to enter before the BC is the Kent. Cup Juvenile at Turfway Park.. Looks like CQ trains up to the BC almost for sure and I don't know what he'll do with Scat Daddy(my guess is he does run in the Champagne).. of course this is all assuming TP wants to avoid the poly and shipping out west.
Best races left before the BC I could find:
Futurity Stakes (GII) on Sept. 23 at Belmont 7f
Kentucky Cup Juvenile(G. III) at Turfway Park on Sept. 30 8.5f
Lane's End Futurity (GI) at Keeneland on Oct. 7 at 8.5f (polytrack alert!)
Norfolk(GII) at Santa Anita on Oct. 8 8.5f
Champagne (GI) at Belomnt Oct 14 8f
