Yeah I agree with you. I think he ran alright. It was a pretty tough situation for an inexperienced horse. He'd never been behind horses before and he'd never gone two turns. His trip wasn't great either. It was definitely a learning experience for him. Running 3rd and losing by 2 1/2 lengths was a respectable perfomance. They said he acted up a bit in the paddock too. I would definitely expect him to move forward off of this race. The Keeneland race you mentioned is probably a good spot for him since he seemed to handle the polytrack alright.
