IMHO, they did the right thing with him.
They were hoping the pace was hot, the race collapsed, and a late run could pull off the upset. The pace wasn't fast and he probably would have been outkicked by several others anyway, but they probably maximized his finish and their check for the race with that strategy ($$$). IMO, had they used him early to be in contention and engaged he probably would have finished up the track. He is what he is. He was a very good early 3yo that never developed much and is more of a Grade 2 horse against older.
