I think it's a combination of 1 and 2 - eager to run, a bit of a botch on the work. I watched a different video that showed the first 1/8 of a mile (pre-work) and DM is full of himself. Breaks away from the pony way early and the exercise rider (who appears to be Leparoux) is holding him back hard for a good 100 yards waiting for Tepin to get going. True he never passes him in the work, but does so in the gallop out which is cut off of the Derby workout video.
Refreshing to hear a trainer (even if he's the assistant) say something other than "we got exactly what we were looking for."
