I think the Keeneland race shows he moved way too early on a track that showed for nearly the entire meet that the best move was the last move. He just got nipped by CQ for second, with no apparent excuse for CQ and trounced him in the BC when both were moving together. Rail bias or not he trounced him.

On that particular day and throughout the early part of the meet, wide late moves were the best moves, but towards the end of the meet speed started to hold better.

In this race I think the fact that it was both SS and CQ's first two-turn trip they clearly had some learning to do. Borel did allow SS to charge all the way up a bit early while CQ took the overland route again. Again, I think this particular race is a toss-up while acknowledging that SS did move too early, but the BC was a definitive statement that SS is a better horse, he crushed the entire field. I'm ready for him to get out on the track so we can see if it holds up.
