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.
You once made a quote that "6 furlongs is a cheap speed distance that is not worthy of a million dollar race". Therefore I assumed that you would be not in favor of a HOY that was only raced in sprints.
