I think it's somewhat important for this horse to run at least a few more times in order to seal some special place in racing history. On the plus side, he ran a race like this in only his 5th start. That suggests his best may be yet to come even though this performance came well into his 4yo season.
On the negative side we've all seen very good horses put up a few spectacular figures that in hindsight look highly suspect (potentially inflated off track figure, light shower just prior to the race that may have changed the track speed, multiple tops in the race that were never duplicated, potentially bias enhanced etc..).
There have also been some very good horses that got extremely sharp for 2-3 races and then went back to being just very good.
IMO, since the PC came on track very conducive to a horse like him putting up a big number, I think he needs a few more just to kind of verify how sustainably good he is.
