I thought it was interesting that the chart caller labeled the win "driving" - and not "ridden out" ... but that's pointless anyway.
War Pass was OUTSTANDING in the Breeders Cup Juvenile.
His comeback race was nothing more than a paid workout ... and hopefully Zito has him ready to make a significant forward leap off of that race.
If that Feb 24th win by War Pass wasn't a comeback race - I would be relentlessly bashing the performance.

The old " more in the tank " concept makes me laugh. If people want to believe that then I can't convince them otherwise. I know if you rely on it for betting purposes you will get thrashed.
Like you I make nothing of his comeback race. Evaluating it is pointless. His previous record speaks for itself. Now we have to see what kind of 3YO he will be.
