Azeri was a great two-turn miler-plus. She was managed quite well in her early days to exploit her area of expertise, and she became a champion because many track managers have decided that poor, delicate female horses can't run farther than 9f. But when she tried one turn races, at 7f and 9f, and distances beyond 9f, she was beaten. She was no Personal Ensign, no Susan's Girl, no Princess Rooney, no Bayakoa or Paseana.
Restore the BC Distaff to 10f, I say!
