That's pretty impressive thinking of the quality of horses that ran on that card. He came 2/5ths off the three year best at Gulfstream in the Florida Derby. So there's a consistency to his fast races and the same goes for the slow ones. I think a second off the variant in the derby is worse than finishing in the tri...? The all or nothing camp has a good point, but I need to look at his GPS times.

The problem with his 'off' races is those are in small fields where he got behind and just kind of clunked around the track.
He isn't going to just sit and trudge along for 3rd or 4th. He'll get waffled back into the pack and continue to fade well into obscurity when it happens.
