He shows up, and he wins. He's not as exciting as many horses we've seen, but he sure knows how to win.
With that said, he didn't beat much today, but when horses are on the track with him...most don't seem like much,

And, he gets better with distance. He is just as happy if you want to keep running. No problem.
What I think it is about him is that it's like you say, not some flashy acceleration move, but that he doesn't slow down as fast as other horses. He runs fast during all phases of a race. He is one of the strongest I've seen in terms of his middle and late pace in the race. He is just real solid.
