It was the first time he was taken well off the pace.
Here are the four lifetime pace #'s I have for him. Note that his first three starts were all sprints - so the pace call would be 4fs instead of 6.
Gotham: 69
3yo Alw: 94
Bel MSW win: 66
Sar debut: 79
It's rare to see a horse go from a 94 pace 93 final sprinting - to a 69 pace and 98 final routing.
