Not sure, I have to watch the race again. But I though he was pretty much in the clear the whole race. Meaning he handled the track, but I'm not sure if he had to or would have handled all the mud in his face. He did run well, but he was still beaten by over 6 lengths to a horse off the New Mexico circuit. So my answer is yes and no.
