I'm sure many of you guys know the answer ...??? I hope ???
Which tracks in America are 2 Turns Over a Mile Race and is their any huge advantages to the One turn mile compared to the 2 turn mile .... Seems obvious , but is it proven the One Turn Mile is better for the horse ? No such thing as a dumb question , I'm told ... LOL !!
Now thats a loaded question! I have never even wondered if the 2 turn mile vs the 1 turn mile had any affect on a horse whose optimum was 8f in the first place. I guess the only thing I could think is if a particular horse is not the greatest in his turns where he would need to do it 2x as opposed to one time if in fact his optimum was 8f.
Shared Belief had some problems with his turns but it sure didnt have any adverse affect on his winning thats for sure.
But that is something I will keep in mind going forward. Its the little details like that to keep an eye on.
Lisa ...
Maybe with many of the horses the 1 Turn vs the 2 Turn over a Mile Race wouldn't matter too much , but I agree it might be something we can look into a bit further , if time ?
Thanks for the feedback ...
