No doubt, even in defeat he impressed, and moved forward. My PK4 was already history by that point so it didn't matter. Plus, the way he was used in the beginning of the race was not helpful. He wasn't allowed to settle and run easy. I'm guessing we'll see a different rider in his next start.
If you think about it, that was probably CQ's best 2 turn race to date, and he is in the elite of the crop so far, so for this horse to run second to him in his third start, beating many more experienced rivals, is not too shabby.
