It is different from turf. But, the courses at both HOL and SA are much closer to turf than dirt. Anyone betting serious money without taking that into account is helping put my son through college.

I can agree with you somewhat. I think it is somewhere in the middle. Some dirt horses can't run on the stuff, and some turf horses can't run on the stuff.

The polytrack at Del Mar seems to definitely favor turf horses though.
