Michael D,
Based on his performances, I see no reason he won't learn to relax enough to get 8-9 furlongs. As a general rule though, the classic horses don't start their careers wiring 5 1/2 furlong races. They either debut/bloom a little later as distances start stretching out or are closers in these early sprints.
I think he'll have to be really special to be as effective at 10F. That kind of range of talent is very rare.
