A trend I've noticed with horses going from synthetic to dirt is that they tire, especially when they go the same distance as their last race on the synthetic. So this horse goes an extra panel on dirt? And at a fairly short price that will definitely have major action in the exotics? No thahnks.

Now again it's horse racing, not every horse is going to improve or like both surfaces. That's why we watch the races.....and bet on them.

i'm lost as to why a poly surface would make a fitter horse.

I'm curious about the BSF awarded to Colonel John. I really don't follow the California poly circuit - are final times out there really, in general, that much faster than elsewhere?
