I certainly think Overextended improved today. I don't think a repeat of his dead-last finish in his previous race in the open nwx1 would have been good enough to win the race today.
I do admit that Notional is a much better horse on conventional dirt, so that could have been a big reason for his improvement.

I'm pretty sure if they had NY-bred allowance races in California, Overextended wouldn't have been finishing last in anything under O'Neill.
