Not disagreeing with his running style, he is what he is; however he seems to be better where he can run around tight turns when he can use his agility and accelleration. Mountaineer and Belmont are not places I ever expected him to do well. If he does go to the Travers and he still has anything left in the tank, I would expect him to run better if he can get a jockey that understands his running style.
