I would have liked to have seen him challenged in that race. But even though he wasn't, I loved the way he relaxed on his own so easily. What I know is that he can run 22 and 44 already. It's hard to run 44 and still win going beyond a mile so he was going to have to show that he could be rated and he handled that well. I think he's going to be one of those types that will force the competition to always make a decision. Do you let him alone up and risk not catching him or do you compromise your own chances and go with him? And if you go with him, he's not going to kill himself in a speed duel with you because he doesn't have to have the lead.

Just watched his replays. Very fast, but he carries his head way too high IMO.

He was cross-firing down the stretch.
