As far as the Classic goes, he showed an entirely new dimension in his American races -- coming from as far off the pace as he did. It was as much a factor of the other speed signed on as anything, but let's not pretend that he just waltzed along near the pace like he had prior. This coming from well off the pace thing is something you only see in his last two races. So I respectfully contend that he didn't get "his trip" in the Classic. A good trip for certain, but not the one we were accustomed to.
