Well....he never ran beyond seven furlongs in his 20 race career---but like you said, he gave every indication he couldn't see out that distance.
I agree with you that pedigrees don't always translate....
However, just because a trainer thinks a horse is best suited to a particular distance...doesn't always mean they are...and I think you'll agree with that as well.
Sir Greeley, who's a confirmed sprinter/miler type, just missed running him down in the late stages of that mile race....I'd love to see this horse going 7/8ths, with a setup in front of him.
