Check out what was happening this winter at FG, for example.

In a few years, most horses will be running on ALL surfaces and all those wise tales that horsemen and handicappers have bought into will be a thing of the past. Sadly, and unfortunately, horse players, especially the speed centric ones, will be the last to let go.
Acoma is one that comes to mind, she's won on dirt/synth/turf and she is by Empire Maker.
