if you don't think a main track horse has to run on turf, why would you think a poly horse has to run on dirt, or vice versa? dirt is not synonomous with poly by any means. the fact that rachel can win on any type of dirt track, fast, good, sloppy, and at a multitude of tracks, in a variety of ways, should show you all the dimensions you should require of a horse.

Only because poly hasn't replaced turf races as it has for many of the traditional dirt races. Ie. Pacific Classic, Hollywood Gold Cup, Big Cap, Maybe it wasn't the best adjective to use 'synonomous' but I still regard synth closer to dirt than it is to turf. You may see this differently and I am okay if you do. There's no right or wrong to this.
