I'm not a fan of that either.
It guess it depends whether you think he's a little green or a little off somewhere. I'm not sharp enough to be able to tell from watching the race.
I'm going to assume he's green unless he starts missing works or doesn't look good in them. They are at the stage where they are trying to get this horse to relax and rate all by himself in workouts. Running straight is the next lesson.
It could mean something though. Princess Noor was doing some odd things in her workouts before she bore out in a race and came back hurt. Magnum Moon was never the same after his Arkansas Derby win where he bore out badly.
Either way, that was a huge race. He annihilated the highest quality prep field so far and ran faster than PAR to every call. I'm not sure what else he could have done other than run straight and turn water into wine.
