Very Confused?

[Craig Mcgee]

I have a set of twin QH sprinters that I just trained at 400 yards and they ran the 9th and 10th fastest training times for yearling QHs.
Nowhere in their lineage is there any middies.
I have been under the conception that you only wanted to run at the distance they are bred for.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Only reason I tried this is I accidently nominated Bayou Bigfoot for the Most American Futurity.

Double WOW I trained all 5 of my Firefox yearlings at 400 and they are 10, 11, 15, and 25 for training times and the productive of the bunch was .09 seconds from being in top 50.

This is a common occurrence in mixers across the board, but they will not be successful racing at the wrong distance even if their workout times suggest otherwise.

In my experience, most QH sprinters work 400 yards faster than QH mids. Not that many QH sprinters work 400 yards, though.

This phenomenon is a source of annual frustration for me with my sire stat tracking. I like to see who is siring the fastest workers. Works great for paint sprinters and turf milers, but is a complete wash for paint middle distance sires as no matter what workout distance I look at the list is almost all sprinters.
