All of his "trouble" was self made - he simply couldn't relax going that slowly early on.
They either have to try him right on top of the early pace going a route - or cut him back.

I haven't watched the replay but on the first viewing it looked like he checked going into the first turn then somehow dropped himself out of the race.
He's probably a one-turn sprinter. I never really disputed that, his entire damside pedigree is full of sprinters.
