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.

I could be mistaken but i think he won his first time going a mile.
