To me, it's very logical that only dirt races should count, or at least carry more weight than turf/synthetic races.

What if a European star like Frankel wanted to take a shot at the Derby? Would the race be better off saying that he couldn't run because he had never run on dirt?

Some remote possibility such as a heavy favorite for the English classics bypassing those races to run in the Kentucky Derby instead is hardly a reason to keep things as they are.
