I just don't see where he should be rated as some kind of dirt monster brought low by the surface. Maybe he isn't as good on synthetic as dirt, so what?
In Summation is more of a bust on turf, not dirt. His turf record is 6 starts, 1 win, 3 places. His dirt record is 9 starts, 4 wins, 1 place. His synthetic record is 4 starts, 3 wins, 1 place. He is actually shown to be quite versatile on any surface.
The BC sprint is a toss in my mind, and not indicative of much. Midnite Lute has also confirmed that.

Idiot Proof has a monster win at Monmouth in what I think was a track record and then a second in the BC Sprint. You could argue he is a horse for the course at Monmouth but there is no way you can claim he isn't very talented on the dirt and has run his two best races by far on it.
I don't have In Summation's PPs in front of me but from what I remember those early dirt wins were over statebred 2yos. Once he used up his conditions he was no longer able to compete on the dirt but could on the turf before he really found his home on the synthetics.
Midnight Lute losing to Daaher at a mile is indicative that the BC Sprint is a toss? Are we watching the same sport?
