One turn mile - the new "classic"
Two turn mile - the TEST OF A CHAMPION!

(It's so interesting to see how things are viewed here vs. overseas. Trueshan just won the Northumberland Plate on the all-weather at Newcastle under 148 pounds, but there's some scoffing at calling him a "stayer" since the two-mile distance of the race is considered a "middle distance"!!!)
