The performances don't even flatter POTN as a synthetic surface performer because all we can conclude is that Papa Clem and I Want Revenge may be less competitive on sythetic. Their efforts simply cannot be a precursor of what POTN himself will do on dirt. Why is this so difficult for people to grasp? He may move up. He may be the same. He may be worse. We won't know until he runs a race or two on dirt.

i agree, and have said the same in the past. some go purely by the win for papa clem to say it flatters-but since i don't think much of the race, i don't think much of the win anyway-a double whammy.
