No... the width of the track is not an issue as you were suggesting. However, the lack of a mile (or mile and a sixteenth) capability would be now that there's a requirement of a dirt mile.
They ran crappy claimers at a mile when i was a kid at Sar, but that was 20 years ago and I don't even think that "chute" is still there, it looked like Ellis' mile chute.
