He did run a non-threatening second. My only reason for pause is that if they had no other aspirations beyond the Gotham, he would have been near the pace like his other previous races. If he would have been run off his feet or dueled into the ground, I would think he has no shot at improving going 2 turns.
But I think it's ridiculous to think the horse is slow because they took him way back in what turned out to be a paceless race. I think he deserves another chance in the Wood.
