My view of the La Derby was that CQ sat last in the field with no horses around
him, was taken wide the turn to avoid any traffic, and went by some overmatched
foes.He was ridden that day with supreme confidence, which reflects both on the
quality of the horse and the depth of his competition. If he can work out a
similar trip in a 20 horse Derby, I admit he will be a very strong factor at very bettable odds.
By the way, you forgot to mention Slew's Tizzy, surprise winner of the
Lexington, was 7th in CQ's La Derby.
As I mentioned in a prior post, if you like CQ the 8 week layoff only increases
the odds on this runner.
