He's basically won three empty races in a row - all in less than spectacular fashion. Elite Alex was miles better than him two-back. Not only the horrible start - but also having to close into a very slow early - fast late race shape.
Isn't there always a horse like this? Poltergeist from a couple of years ago and I think a horse named Plesant Storm last year? Horses that show some signs at Remington Park, come to Oaklawn and win an allowance race in visually nice fashion, and then just get totally outclassed when they move into Stakes company.
