Dominican?

[engbloomj]

I just can't figure out why Dominican is such a long shot. This horse has great beyers figures and great fractions. He showed a great turn of foot in the last race (Yeah, I know about slow pace. You still have to give credit for the closing speed and heart). He can run with Street Sense.

I understand he has not won on dirt. But, is the track surface really that big of deal. It was awhile ago. He is now very sharp.

Regardless of surface, I am certain Carl Lewis would still have won the 1984 Olympics in 100 m. Fast is fast! Is horse racing really that much different?

Alright, bombs away.

I am an amature. Be kind. Explain
