All I ask is that people comparing horses who have run on synthetics and dirt actually try to understand that many horses prefer one over the other. To diminish the quality of Unrivaled Belle because she lost a race on the Pro-Ride is foolish, especially given her prior dirt accomplishments and those she' accumulated since.

That argument drives me even more crazy than this incessant notion that Zenyatta is better on dirt.
