There are plenty that don't take to dirt though. Just looking at Tuesday I found the following no name horses that seem to have a preference for synthetic. Synthetic races are in blue, dirt brown, grass green...most recent race to the left. They are overall performance ratings, each one a race, and do take into account maturation, pace, speed, etc...Beyer scale.
Code:
6 Just You and I Kid 15 40 37 39
4 Finale's Gold 44 13 21 64 54 21 48 50 57 58
6 Circular Reasoning 60 43 50 65 61 79 76 41 66 60
5 Payment in Kind 58 56 60 67 58 58 57 37 68 78
7 Jake's Da Man 29 52 62 55 63 54 59 49 67 59
8 Sterling Justice 35 39 47 33 31

yeah I know, I'm not familiar with those horses by name, I'll have to look them up. thats basically where I was going. my idea is that its not as hard for a horse in sharp form on synthetic to take to dirt, as it is for SOME dirt horses to take their sharp form to synthetic. Its kinda hard to back it up though because there is not a lot of shippers out of CA to dirt tracks.
If I pay attention to horses that ship out of Arlington this year I might be able to back it up.
