You may very well be right that Zardana will turn out to be a serious horse on dirt. I bet Zardana yesterday, because I thought Jackson/Asmussen emptied the tank with Rachel last year and she was not likely to return the same horse in 2010 as in 2009.

I was only speculating as to why the Santa Margarita figure seems to have been "fudged" upwards (based on your own projections) in a big way. Maybe, as other posters have suggested, the conclusion that we should draw is that the figures are meaningless on synthetic surfaces.
