I'm curious to know what you spotted in that race. I saw a typical pace breakdown with him reaping the reward as a good closing horse should.
Splits:
23.06, 23.72,
25.87, 6.46
This in contrast to the Arkansas Derby which featured this:
24.42, 24.96, 25.07, 12.38
Note there is no rest for the weary with the 3/4 to mile split in the Ark that helped propel Tacitus in Tampa and Roadster at Santa Anita.
I like the horse but if Improbable, MS, or someone else just goes around posting 12.3 second panels then he would have a tough time getting up. Of course, if you expect a lively pace then he's a must include.
