[quote=Cannon Shell]He was horse of the year in England as a three year old. Also champion three year old that same year in UK and France. The fact that he was a turf sprinter probably put BTW and Pedigree Ann into a tizzy. QUOTE]

Don't know why you would say that. Dayjur was out of Eclipse winning sprinting filly Gold Beauty and was so good at short distances that he was never tried longer. The way a horse is trained makes a difference, you know - only one example, Orientate was an effective miler, but he was trained as a sprinter for his championship campaign.
