I do think Midshipman is very dangerous in the BC Dirt Mile though but he will be overbet.

Pretty false. While there obviously are some horses who either love or hate slop/highways, there are many more who either love or hate synthetics. It's not an alterated dirt track, it's a third surface. Quick, how many horses can you name that are GSWs winners on dirt and synthetics? Bet I can name more than have won graded stakes over fast and off tracks.
