Something tells me he wasn't ready to bring his best stuff to the table. Off this race, if he's able to continue training and racing with regularity, he should improve. It could be a big "if", though.

All true but that's the main point. There is very little consistency among them. They are all big ifs. Flat Out just won today what I believe is his first graded stakes and he dominated it in such a fashion that hopes are up that he might be something good, forgetting he's five and not a 3yo in his fourth career start and what he did last out.
