he now gives a new twist; just about the most impossible race to handicap: 7F on the BEL turf. Too long for sprinters, especially those not accustomed to the long turn and stretch run, and, more often than not, too short for 2 turners.

Not a trick ? I just think the horse wasn't getting a hold of the turf. The whole race he never seem to have a comfortable stride. Looked much better on dirt.
