I liked the horse going in, singled him and got a little taste of the p-3 ending there. Missed the p4 ... went 3 deep in the last, but left out the 3-1 winner. grrrrrrrr. He ran great, imo. Dominated as he should have, imo. Look forward to his next. He may well be just the 23rd best 2yo in the barn, then again, he's a Graded winner. |

Nobody talked about how this horse would do next spring. You sound like those of us who are excited about the horse predicted he would win the Derby and the BC Classic next year. Nobody did! We are smart enough to know that it is impossible to predict who will be good 3yo the previous July. This horse looks like a very good 2yo to me (and others). If he stays healthy I like his chances in some of the bigger 2yo races this fall. That is what I said to begin this thread, and I still think that. If you disagree with that, fine. But please don't make it seem like we were saying he was lock to win the Derby or anything like that. ArlJim is right. YOU were the one to bring up how good he would be as a 3yo. |

Answer me this. If you owned a horse today -- right now -- ranked a bit higher in Todd's barn than CQ... say the #4 2 yo colt and let's say CQ is, oh, 6th --- would you truly rather own that colt as opposed to the Graded winner CQ? Right now, today? Just curious. |

![]() "TWO YEAR OLD RACING AT THIS TIME OF YEAR MEANS NOTHING."
I don't understand it when people say things like this. I guess they mean it doesn't help you predict who will win the TC races 10 months from now.....which is obvioulsy true. But I mean, come on, they still mean something. It was still a stakes race. They do give out an eclipse award for 2yo and I would think graded stakes wins probably are a factor in determining that. If all you care about is the TC races then I suppose you are correct, they don't mean anything. I enjoy watching 2yo racing for its own sake, and NOT because I may be watching a horse that might possibly compete in the Kentucky Derby. |

![]() I wonder why do they run races? If this race dosent move him to the top of the class, all the naysayers are just dealing with potential. This horse has produced and he has potentialmm also. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Most often it is a duck. This horse ran like a champ,has a champ potentia and a champ pedigree. In spite of all the complants about this horse. He is the target now.

This horse is not one of the best "2yr olds in the last ten years" which is really the argument being made by one poster on this thread. That statement is insanity. |

I'd go the other way, but, good luck! That's why they let us wager on these things. |

![]() Hoisttheflag, we get it. You don't like the "best 2-year-old in 10 years" comment. How many times are you gonna say it?
The only reason I think most people are down on CQ is because they heard Scat Daddy or whoever else was the top 2-year-old in Pletcher's barn. That may be true, but as I remember it, Nick Zito said SUN KING was his best 3-year-old last year. Better than Bellamy Road. So even the trainers don't know for sure what they have until the horses all prove what they can and cannot do on a track. How ****ing hard is it for you people to comprehend that someone's opinion is just that? No one is right or wrong here. Oracle, others and I see something special in CQ. A few of you don't. That's totally cool with me, but people like Hoisttheflag won't be able to die in peace until Oracle rescinds his "best 2-year-old in 10 years" comment. Give it a rest.. |

And why is it that all racing has to have TC implications or it means nothing. It's still horse racing and the races pay off just the same as the ones that the big guys are running in. Only a limited number of races involve those horses anyway. |
