You give me Holy Bull versus Go Between on synthetic and I'm taking Holy Bull everytime. Why? Because he's a better horse. If Pioneer and IWR had never faced each other yet, then I would give the edge to IWR because of that known ability on the dirt. But to me, Pioneer's two wins cancel out the dirt advantage that IWR MAY have because we don't know that IWR actually does have it because Pioneer hasn't run on it.
