Rollo, I think it is premature to write off a horse based on one race, namely the Goodwood.
Perhaps he just didn't fire his best race that day.
Or, perhaps, as Freddy said, it was a learning experience. Keep in mind that he was still a pretty lightly raced 3yo at that point going against much more experienced older horses.
His overall race record, minus the Goodwood, shows a horse that is still on the improve.
