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.
At the risk of sounding stupid, so does this mean he's a horse that won't be a casualty of pace because he is basically making his own race or do you consider his last race a complete anomaly?
