For that reason, in a 7 furlong race at Charles Town, horses must negotiate more than one turn, making the times slower and NOT comparable to 7 furlong race at a 1 mile track.

Well, it faded in its race on January 20th at Laurel, taking the lead and holding it for the first two calls and then finishing third at almost 1:26 seconds. Also, I probably shouldn't have referenced the Charles Town time due to the fact that it was its Maiden time. Still, I thought the horse would fade and not contend as its comfort level seems to be at around the 6 - 5.5f distance.
