Horses must be taken one at a time. Some can run well on multiple sufraces. Some can't.

The idea that there was some "theory" that should now be tossed out the window because of something Mine that Bird did, doesn't make any sense to me at all. Starting a thread to make such a proclamation....makes even less.

You better watch it. There are certain God-like (at least in their own minds) figures on this board that will tell you otherwise and if you didn't agree with them, you were stupid, an idiot, or both.

actually, what miraja wrote is what most have said. i don't think anyone has said a poly horse can't run on dirt. i think most have said that some can, and some can't. but for many, they would rather bet on a known dirter than one they aren't sure of. this sure has gotten turned into a big deal.

We know there was a certain one that said he can't. Insisted he can't. Saying you'd rather get a higher price on one that hadn't shown he can do it, that makes perfect sense. But insisting that a horse can't do it when he'd never tried it was kinda surprising to me considering the source.
