Horse was looking for a distance of ground. Look at the record - first time he tried 10f, he's a winner. Second time he tries 10f, he's a winner. Not surprising, with a stayer sire in Kingmambo (average progeny win distance 9.9f in Europe) and damsire Kris S (Euro average distance 11.3f).

Don't think he's in a class with the other major BC Classic candidates, but his improvement with the added furlong is not entirely unexpected. Just aren't many 10f stakes races in the center of the country these days.
