I am not convinced he's anything special yet.
Very few horses that debut with wire to wire wins in 5 1/2 furlong maiden races go on to be top long distance horses no matter what their pedigree suggests. At best they wind up being very good middle distance horses. It's extremely rare to be blessed with very high sprint speed and great stamina at the same time unless you are a super horse or close.
So IMO, he is guilty (a sprinter/middle distance horse) until proven innocent.
