I do have doubts that horses sired by Montbrook can win Grade 1 races at 9 furlongs. Her 4 wins ranged from 6 to 8 furlongs (one turn). Her two 8.5 furlongs (two turns)/Grade 1 starts resulted in third place finishes.
Per DRF article after the Santa Ynez victory:

"Michael Iavarone of IEAH Stables said the cut-back in distance for Amen Hallelujah in the Santa Ynez was the difference on Saturday. He said she may be kept in one-turn races in 2010."
