Timberlake shouldn't have been racing until he was ready to do things necessary to win at the grade 1 level. He wasn't competent running in the stretch even when he won. When he did change leads in the last few hundred yards of the Rebel, he showed he is a horse capable of running in grade 1's at distances of a mile to mile and an eighth. So the cut in distance is a head scratcher for me. I just think he was rushed in his development.
