It's not all about breeding. In fact, it's NEVER about breeding for me and ALL about trips.

Typically, unless we're dealing with bush type tracks (or speed favoring tracks) turf horses don't stretch out as easily as they cut back. It's a matter of footwork, as trying 2 turns for the 1st time presents problems for them.

Who's the sire of English Colony? That would be ROG. How'd he do 1st time trying a mile?

TRIPS are superordinate to BREEDING and TRAINER angles. Fact of the matter.
