I'm not saying he flew, but I'd call his pace quicker than average.
He was unopposed on a clear lead under mild rating and making his own pace - when that happens again in one of his races let me know.

It's happened in nearly every single one of his races, so why couldn't it happen again? Are you saying he just keeps running into fields with no speed?

I'll wait for his next race before I go crowning anyone, but I don't see how one can't be impressed with his race on Friday.
