Where will Scat Daddy and Quay run next?

Hes not really a closer. He lopes along and then hits you with a tremendous burst.
Most closers are defined as types who grind away by running even 1/4's.
Also, the pace of hsi most recent race was a large reason why he was so far behind(being a complete goofball is another).
His running style is exactly the style that strikes me as that of a horse who will be more effective the farther that they go.
