i disagree... how is dirt king still ? dont get me wrong, i love dirt, and i hate synthetic, i would prefer every track dirt, but the next 2 breeders cup's are more then likely on AWT.... major tracks keenland and arlington, woodbine, all of Cali.... As much as i hate to say it AWT is taking over...

churchill, belmont, saratoga. dirt is still the #1 surface here, regardless of cali. as for keeneland, they are part owner of an AWT company, so no joke they switched.

yes, he does to be considered a top sire. he's marginalized himself. and practically nothing you put on here makes sense.
