I didn't even see your question, my bad.

Again, why does it legitimize POTN's ability? IWR looks to be two different horses on the two surfaces. POTN beat the synthetic IWR, not the dirt one. It's like elevating Red Rocks because Curlin won the Woodward after losing to him in the Man O' War.

First off, I'm not elevating Red Rocks at all. He's not the same horse anymore.
And you're right, POTN beat the synthetic IWR. But the synthetic IWR was good enough to only lose to POTN by a... nose. Now we see the dirt IWR is pretty good, so if POTN were to handle dirt, then well based upon this comparative handicapping, it makes for another element of discussion. Which is all I was doing. Not proclaiming POTN as the Derby winner by any stretch. The wording in my original post was poor, and cause people to freak out with their keyboards a bit. My bad.
