Its a 6F sprint called the Dixieland. I didnt get to see the Jackpot, but I remember looking at the charts and seemed like OR was up close to the pace and faded. Is 9F too much for this horse?

I don't think Officer Rocket wants any part of 9 furlongs. He might be able to beat a very very weak field at 9 furlongs because he is a classy horse. But with competition on the same level I dont think he can win. I didnt like him in the Delta Jackpot and I won't like him in any race that is over 1 mile.
