No, just that by nature he wants to run with the herd plus he bolted due to fright.
If a jockey were on him, say an extra 10% of his bodyweight, he would have finished down the track because he needs to conserve all for one big run under those conditions. Notice in the end he was only about a length and a half in front of the winner, with a jockey, he probably wouldn't have placed anywhere near.
That's really the secret to any good horse, finding the correct way to get the most out of them. That's what good trainers can identify.
