What is the rational for switching a 1 1/16 mile turf race all the way down to a 7F dirt one when they run many 1 mile races on the dirt?

They don't run one mile races on the dirt, it is a 1m 1/8 track with no chute for mile races. Pretty sure the rule is 2yo races are changed to 7f, older are changed to 9f.

There used to be a chute for 1 mile races (Wilson Mile), but the last time they used it was in the early 90's, I believe.

I looked up track records at Saratoga and there was a listing for 1 mile or dirt (Key Contender 1992). Didn't realize they no longer run that distance. Thanks.
