Bottom line is that G. Motion is a turf trainer; and imo as good of a horseman as we have in the game.
Graham Motion is a very good trainer.....and apparently not an idiot. He would have run this horse on the dirt if he felt it liked the surface. He runs plenty of horses, including 2YOs, on the dirt.
