I just looked at his 2nd race at SAR. His 1st one was excellent and I wanted to see if he'd had a trouble trip. He wasn't really pinched back or steadied, to any meaningful degree. In fact, positionally, he got a perfect inside (draft) out trip. The shape of the race didn't work to his advantage, however. This guy can thus fire 2 good ones in a row.

In Fat Land, his last race was off the charts.

A case where I think others are better but I can't overlook that last race.

Then again, I still can't get over his 1st race back this year.
