When they did, he just inhaled them at the 1/4 pole and the race was over.

Not sure why you think it's brilliant race riding when a jockey takes back on a horse while its stablemate goes on a suicide mission on the front end. See the Kona Gold Stakes from last year (and your comments on it in this thread).
Props for not mentioning that the 4-5 favorite was said stablemate.
