Default Where will Scat Daddy and Quay run next?

Its going to be very interesting to see where these horses show up next and polytrack will hhave an impact on it.
I'm sure that they want the easiest Grade One spot they can find with Scat Daddy so he can be cemented as a sire prospect.
WIth Quay, hes already a sire prospect and has his grade one win.
But the problem is that the Keeneland race that might have been used as a prep for one of them is now conducted on polytrack. I find it unlikely that either owner wants his horse prepping on that stuff for the BC and in Scat daddy's case risking what may be the best chance for a grade one win before they stretch out to two turns.
So other than the Champagne(which is spaced too close to the BC for either horse with only 3 weeks rest between and a trainer who doesnt like running them off 3 weeks rest) which in itself isnt ideal, what does he do with them?
I think he will choose to train CQ up to the race because his pedigree and running style suggest the two turns won't be an issue and that he runs Scat Daddy in the Champagne in order to get him a grade one asap.
Anyone have any scenarios which make more sense?
