Hes kind of a tweener to me. Not fast enough to win at a mile, isnt ever going to capitalize on a field as weak as the Belmont Stakes again going long. May be a decent grade 3/ high priced allowance horse.

I disagree totally. Virtually every two furlong segment of every race he's run has been between 24 and 25 seconds. The shorter the race is the tougher it is to compete running that speed. At 12 furlongs he'd do well against most of the top horses out there. 10 furlongs is going to be tough, 9 will be extremely difficult. At a mile he has no chance.
