Obviously there are strays within data, but if you take some surveys and attached it to age, my belief is you would see that the younger generation has no problem with synthetics, and probably prefers it.

I'm 27 and I don't like synthetics

It F's up history and makes people think synthetic winners belong on the list of best dirt horses ever.

The more I think about half the younger generation that actually follows horse racing is probably here so maybe I am wrong.

Call me crazy, most if not all my action is on synthetics. Barely play dirt.

Take all the data you want, but I believe that majority of people any age don't care either way. They are pure gamblers that couldn't care less if the horses were running on dirt, poly or broken glass.
