Hes kind of a tweener to me. Not fast enough to win at a mile, isnt ever going to capitalize on a field as weak as the Belmont Stakes again going long. May be a decent grade 3/ high priced allowance horse.
Take the bluff set the pace early after a stumble and had a 4 length lead at the 1/8 pole. He won by a length and a half. You can't possibly think that another panel would not have factored into the finish.
