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.

English Colony?

He ran at a mile once....in the Kelso. He did not win.

No I think he meant Rock of Gibraltar.

The poster asked who was the sire of English Colony and then asked how did he do his first crack at a mile. Unless im mistaken, Rock of Gibraltar won his first crack at a mile. Thats what i meant.

I can see why his sentence was confusing but I would guess he meant English Colony.

NEGATIVE.

EC is a horse that was rated nicely going 6F. He won on the lead going 7F --once. What made him unique was that he was fast enough to stay close to the fastest sprinter YET able to hold off the late runners. His footwork sprinting is IMPECCABLE. The only time he tried a mile a BEL, which is a quasi turn, he's on the wrong lead on the backstretch and RANK.

Im sorry fat man. BTW pointed out my error. I misread your earlier post and took it to mean that you were referring to Rock of Gibraltar.
