Again, you exhibit your comediness. One of the reasons turf racing is won from the back is because there are no kickup. Dirt racing is won from the front partially because of all the kickup that happens from the horse in front.

How would you feel if you had dirt flying in your face for two minutes straight?

Whatever man, it is said a million times that some horses don't like the dirt in their face, and some of those horses excel on the turf becuase of it.

Hmmm. Trust the opinion of a salty handicapper or a guy who is into horses because of a horse he liked four months ago. Tough choice.

You might even be less intelligent than the other guy. Salty handicappers usually know nothing about horses, just gambling. Big difference.

A horse he like four months ago? My family has been involved longer than you have probably been alive.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't this boldruler character admit at one point that he's only been interested in horse racing for a matter of months? I'll admit if I'm wrong.

I think it has to do more with the horses stride(high action) and the horses hoof, big hooves are better for turf racing...

It is not a reason. The dirt in the face excuse is an excuse for only a small amount of horses.
