The final quarter mile was run in 22.60 seconds. Races never come home that fast on dirt.
After being trapped and rating off of the winners heels, he had to wheel out under 124lbs, and make up a 2-length cushion into the teeth of a 22.60 final quarter when his late pace figure is no better than that of a good alw horse.
The funny part is, I bet the jockey probably believed the horse was capable of doing it.
