Poly vs. Dirt Kickback

[The Bid]

If you can handle the kickback on the poly you can surely handle dirt kickback. The poly kicks back about 2 miles

In my opinion, poly kickback is less severe when it hits the horse than dirt kickback. But at this stage of the game, a horse better be able to handle any type of kickback.

I believe that the kickback is usually much, much worse on dirt, which is a reason why closers do better on poly than on dirt, and why grass horses tend to prefer poly over dirt.

I would favor a horse in the first group of runners in the KD.

I think sumitas hit the nail on the head.
