A fifth by 2 going a mile run in 132.4 was a perfect setup race for him.

On The Line was good at a lot of distances. Most of his stakes wins were in fact longer than 6f.
He was a good sprinter, of course, that isn't the issue. It was whether he was in form or not.
Dispersal outdueled him in the NYRA Mile through very fast fractions (6f 1:08), putting him away and holding off the good closer Sewickley.
We know from his close 3rd place finish (despite getting bushwacked out of the gate) that Dispersal was on his game in the BC, too.
