Didn't hear one other than the logical assumption that the extra 110 yards gives the outer posts a better (fairer) chance. Plus, with the variety of Turf Sprint distances run around the world (5f, 5.5f, 6f to 6.5 downhill at SA to 7f straights here (BEL) and abroad, etc., it feels like a happy median.
