Well, I certainly don't think 10f is going to be his best distance, but his one try at that distance wasn't exactly a complete flop. Second to Street Sense (and therefore in front of horses like Curlin and AGS) is not exactly a shameful performance. Personally I think 8-8.5 furlongs is probably where he would be the most effective, but he can still be pretty decent stretching out to 9f and beyond, and as he showed yesterday, he can sprint and be effective too.
