Name[edit]

Does anyone know how this horse came to be called "Circular Quay"? It seems unlikely that it is mere coincidence it shares its name with Circular Quay in Sydney, Australia - the site of the first European settlement in AUstralia and centre of the city.--Merbabu 23:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the pedigree, on the dam side there is a lineage of mares with circle-inspired names:
Circular Quay - Circle of Life - Concentric - Magic Circle - Golden Circlet
I guess that is all it comes down to - but why a colt from that lineage ends up with a "circular" name is a puzzle.... Being a colt it should really be something stormy or thunder-inspired like the sires Thunder Gulch and Line of Thunder coming from Shoot a Line and Storm Bird
BTW. The centre of Sydney, Australia is pretty much near Parramatta, New South Wales. Depending on how you define both Sydney, and it's centre (geographically, demographically, politically, culturally?...)

Circular Quay is the centre of Sydney in the ways that matter, not Parramatta. ;-) --Merbabu 10:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
