You may be right but we won't ever know. That is until he fails at a short price in his next start as well.

He's a closing sprinter. Three times at two turns, two less than stellar performances with VERY good setups, and one " who knows ". I guess he can pass distance challenged quitters.....but can he pass horses that are actually accelerating and not decelerating? So far he hasn't done that going two turns.
I really don't think you can make a definitive statement about him being a closing sprinter just yet. Granted the best race of his life was a sprint and he is now 0 for 3 around two turns I still want to see one more. That's just me though and I can easily see how one would be a little over him now.

I want somebody to mention how Appealing Zophie went faster than Notional today. Maybe I'm the only one who really wasn't impressed with Notional's race.
