Not only did he check at the quarter pole, he was in tight that whole final quarter of a mile. He didn't really have anywhere to go that final 1/16th of a mile. I think he had at least 1-2 lengths of trouble. With a clean trip, I think he would have had a shot to run 2nd.

In addition, a mile is not his best distance and this was a very fast race. All things considered, I think he ran great.
