A shorter top tube puts more body mass on the front wheel leaning over it, then compensate for the shorter top tube with a longer reach stem

For more trail the fork could be reversed ,

see 'stayer bikes',These are for high speeds , Velodrome, track, motor paced, so higher trail for stability.. note how long that stem is ...
so more body weight on the bars and front wheel
