Was there an easier toss at than Lovely Isle in the SA Oaks, especially at a miserly 7 to 2?

What about Street Sense, he obviously ran better on the dirt than the synthetic, but he ran two good races on the synthetic?

You must have missed BBs Oaklawn Park Handicap and GG race before the Oaklawn Park Handicap. I would have hardly called those two performances mediocre.

I think that it is very premature to say that horses who win on the synthetic won't improve when switched to the dirt. Mainly because it has already been proven that it happens.
