Circular Quay in the Louisiana Derby

I actually thought he JV kept the horse closer to the pace then everyone else seems to think. He allowed the horse to start picking it up on the backside instead of waiting for the turn. The horse did it very easily, very push button. This does not mean he is my derby horse yet I do not see him very far back in the Derby as most of you guys see him. I don't think of him as a late running closer, he's a mid-pack Derby horse.
