Turf route to dirt extended sprint
This is an old trainer angle of Ed Bain, I think. A six furlong speed horse is "sent" on a turf route, and tires through the stretch , but builds up his stamina. Switch to an extended dirt sprint of 7 furlongs, and he should have the stamina to last the extra furlong. Sometimes works for 6-1/2 furlongs.
