IF he was on the front end setting slow fractions like that, I still doubt he would have sped up very much at the end.
If you look at most of his races, I think HS usually improves his position from the 3/8 pole to the wire. He's not some front runner who has a 5 length lead at the half-mile pole and then barely holds on.
