True, but overall the blinkers seemed to help him quite a bit. Lezcano said he was extremely distracted in the gate and at the start of the race last time, and he certainly appeared focused today.
I thought it was a good performance. The speed of the race will obviously be easier to determine after the 8f turf race later on the card, but I doubt his race comes back a whole lot slower than that one. There is no reason to think he couldn't be a decent stakes horse on the lawn, and actually the addition of blinkers could make him a stakes horse on the dirt as well.
All things considered, it looks like he's fairly good.
