I actually like the opposite, going from turf route to dirt sprint.

I think the jockey angle on this issue is a good thing to ask Tony Black about.

Joey.. I'll bring it up with Tony this week. He's certainly ridden in a bunch considering his Mid-Atlantic career base where they've run them as a major portion of their cards for a long time...

Am going to start a Turf Sprint Handicapping thread (or series). Will pick Turf Sprints where PP's are available. Less of a contest and more of an ongoing discussion opportunity.
