Yes, those 2yo races were pretty fast, but that was 2 years ago...

You say he lost to a claimer. Desert Boom is a very good horse. He's a stakes horse. It's irrelevant that he's a former claimer. Siren Lure and Pure As Gold, who ran 1st and 2nd, are both fomer claimers.

I have no idea if DM could have won if he wasn't sick, but his nose loss to Desert Boom did not bother me. Desert Boom is a solid horse and DM had a really bad trip that day.
