I don't think that's true. Look at a case like Dylan Thomas or Giant's Causeway. Sakhee. Those weren't cases of horses that couldn't run over there. George Washington. These were all horses that could not only run over there but run at the highest levels. But they were still brought over here to try the dirt? Why? Sometimes, they are looking to see if their horses can establish themselves on the new surface because it would open up brand new doors in the shed. Same thing will apply with these synthetics, only it may be easier to accomplish given the way these surfaces tend to be really kind to grass horses.
