Don't give me the surface. He ran his race. She was just better.

A horse like Summer Bird who does not really have a strong turn of foot is at a huge disadvantage on the Pro-Ride. He's at his best when he can gallop horses into the ground, he's a grinder. The Pro-Ride works against him in a huge way as it is a surface where horses who can wind up and make one powerful run are at their best.
Count me among those who wouldn't be surprised by a different result if a healthy Summer Bird and Zenyatta met at 10fs on a dirt track.
