You guys are, once again, making the mistake of trying to transfer something that happened on synthetic over to a dirt track. It will cost you money.

First, consider that the pace of the race yesterday was very slow, even by synthetic track standards. By dirt standards, it was slower than erosion.

If that race were run on a dirt track, a few things could happen. First, GB could run the same pace and be eight lengths further back of what would be a slow pace. Good luck with that one. Second, he could run 8 lengths faster to try to be up with that slow dirt pace. If he does that, what happens to his finish? Third, he could be anywhere in between those two scenarios, neither of which seems very promising.

Consider, also, the above assumes he will even like the footing offered by real dirt.
