Bad start and all, I think there is some merit to how cold he was on the board being a possible indication that he was not going to put forth his best.

They took 3 months off between an excellent Met Mile and won the Whitney, giving this particular horse time between races has worked well.
Why waste the time trying to read between the lines when the horse didn't even get a fair chance to run his best? I will be more concerned on whether he will hold up to the pace pressure he will meet in the BCC than any idea that he was over the top because the 3 year olds took more money.
