Two good points. I would counter by saying that at least I can you run in the top races, nobody can accuse you of taking the easy way out. And I know in general you're right about the European thing but I don't think this is a comparable situation. With a Euro, Goldikova, for instance, she hadn't run on other surfaces so she's would be asked to do something she'd never done. Not so with Wise Dan.
