It is still synthetic. I believe this is the last meet before they change to dirt.

Cant wait for this place to be back to dirt. You probably want it to stay AW, right? I recall some huge scores from you over the summer.

I definitely would prefer it stay an AW at this point as I think it can create big opportunities to find live horses the public is missing. I was very much against the change at first as I thought it was a knee-jerk reaction and made handicapping unpredictable but over time found that horse players can adjust. I have to admit that I will miss it after this meet.

Great handicapping minds like you and I will always make the proper adjustments.
Seriously though I just prefer dirt, I did not have much success at Keeneland or Del Mar on synthetic surfaces. I really cant even say why, I just feel more comfortable betting on dirt and turf.
