Deep closers ( like Giacomo ) NEED a fast pace and collapse to win, I don't believe SS does. I think SS could win from off the pace in a moderately or slow paced race.. only time will tell.

I also think he could have won the Preakness with a better timed ride, but thats another story/thread.

I agree with much of what you said. Good post.
