As the meadowlands Cup showed us tonight, some horses prefer a certain surface over others and both BB and Curlin haven't run a race over the synthetic. So, from a betting standpoint, it's tough to take too short a price on either on the win end. I would think any pick 3 or 4 would want to be covered by at least one of them though.

At least we have a hint in that both horses have shown the ability to handle the turf. I wonder if their respective sire stats suggest synthetic ability (is anyone keeping track of this yet?).
