POOR DIST RECORD

Requires at least 4 starts within ±220 yards of today's distance in the last 10 and zero wins across all of them. Like MULTIPLE_SURFACE_FAILURES, this distinguishes between inexperience and demonstrated failure. A horse that has tried today's distance multiple times and never won is showing a performance pattern tied to that distance — it may be tiring too early (in routes), unable to accelerate sharply enough (in sprints), or simply not suited to the particular demands of that trip length.
