He wasn't in a full out drive by any stretch of the imagination but he was ridden out. Could he have gone faster? Maybe but if so probably not a great deal faster.

Look, he's a supremely talented horse, no doubt about it, but if you didn't see his pps, or the pps of those he beat, you would have a much different idea of this horse from reading the kind of accolades he gathers around here. I have found that letting horses prove themselves on the racetrack is the most telling thing.
