As to Indian Blessing:

“The last two works here have just been very average for her. She’s a great work horse, and my rider said she is just totally different on synthetics,” Baffert said. "She’s not the same filly and she travels totally different on it. She’s always fought it. Coming into Breeders’ Cup, she’s running against great competition, and I just don’t feel comfortable running her against synthetic specialists.”

Wouldnt Icon Project have been on the sitting on the dirt sideline list had she stayed healthy?

I'm sure her owner would have put her in the BC if she had stayed healthy. Didn't they skip the NY race to run at Keeneland on the poly?

I'll tell ya what. I will be extremely impressed if Summer Bird or Quality road or any other dirt horse beats the Euro's/Gio/Zenyatta (if she runs).
