Since his return from after the derby break, the truth is all of NoBiz' races have been good. even his dirt race in the Dwyer when he only lost to Any Given Saturdays very quick time.
The difference you can see in his pace figures is in how he runs his races.
leading up to the derby he was running fast to the first and second call, and not very strong late.
Now he is running evenly early and finishing strong, which gives him a better overall result imo. I think they got him straightened around during the break and I think that if he did try a dirt race now it might be much better than you think.
I'm not saying he's a superstar or anything like that, but he's sort of the forgotten 3yo and maybe not that far behind the leaders.
