For one the BC Dirt Mile is two turns, at Santa Anita at least.
If they didn't run yesterday, the only other spot would have been the Cigar Mile, which would have worked as it's one turn.
I think your stat (which was mentioned ad nauseum on TVG yesterday) is kind of misleading. He's been close in some of his 6 furlong races and has led way before the 6 furlong mark in his 6 1/2 or 7 furlong wins.
