She's a very talented horse. Whether or not she's a " very talented dirt horse " has yet to be determined. We'll see. In my opinion, if Frankel thought she was a dirt superstar her debut would have come on the dirt.

I think he indeed thinks her a superstar with scary-good potential, and has purposely avoided the dirt (no Breeders Cup) to help prevent possible injury, so she can dazzle as a 3-year-old.
Running her on synthetics possibly makes her a bit fitter than her dirt counterparts, giving her a good 3-year-old base without the same risk of time off for bucking or chips.
