Bill Lantrop's research gives him a conduit profile of 10-2-3-3-8. This suggests that he should be able to strech out to 10 furlongs. Horses with similar profiles include Seattle Slew and Smarty Jones. That said, I don't believe that Officer offers enough class to compete at a distance in graded stakes.

Ah Oaklawn. I remember back in the day we'd load up ten deep and spend the weekend partying our arse's off. I had my biggest hit of my life there live in person back in 1998 on opening Day. $92 winner we all had it and went Ape $hit crazy the whole weekend. It's a wonder noone died. My friend the Breadman delivers to the track kitchen still so I should have some live ones this year again for us. Two of my buddies Hot Walk for William Fires so we should hear the backside talk also. My one friend might get to work for Cole Norman's crew instead because of his supension. That would be great because we'd finally learn what's in his milkshake recipe.

Good ol' slot money to keep a track going. They pumped $80M into my greyhound track here, though most of that was for a gaming floor and services to casino game players. Still, they did upgrade the Kennel Club area for simulcast and dog players.
