Nice straw man. Isn't working.

That's not quite completely true. In Argentina and Chile, many of the major races are run on what they call 'sand' tracks; before 1978, it was 'all the major races' in Argentina.

And by the say, nobody runs for 'grade 1' races but British hurdlers and 'chasers. They run in 'Group 1' (Gruppo 1, etc.). The theory behind determining group and graded races is very different.

Really? What argument is there? She pointed out some countries that run big races on sand. That goes to your question. She and I agree on the dirt track base thing.

I must have missed saying there was an arguement. Could you point me to where I said that?

I was looking forward to two know it all blowhards strutting their stuff. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Except Riot didn't bring that up. It was Hoss who brought up Grade 1's (actually he initially called them elite races) run on synthetic.

I'm sure nobody here minds Ann pointing out they are correctly called Group races. I don't.
