Unfortunately Formulator doesn't allow you to have those two conditions, so you'd have to do it manually. Eurton is not a very big-time trainer, so it wouldn't be that hard to do it. If I find myself handicapping a SoCal race and he comes up I'll find his number and post it here. In general it is quite a bit more subjective and will vary by trainer (pretty obvious).

My theory although I can in no way back it up is that Syn is a tiring track and horses improve going to dirt but coming back to a more tiring surface is an issue.

I don't know about you guys, but whenever I looked at a horse that ran on the Santa Anita dirt, I kind of looked at it with a so called * next to the race. I'm just not sure about the suface. It's funny because I toss any sprint on that downhill turf course too.

I do the same with Monmouth especially the turf...
