I'm not comparing dirt and turf racing. I know that the style of racing is very different. I am only saying that in my opinion, this year's top dirt horses aren't that good and that they are ripe for the taking. I think Gorella and the improved version of Wait a While could be good enough to beat the likes of Fleet Indian and Pine Island. I don't think they would beat the likes of Personal Ensign, Bayakoa, Azeri, Paseana, Inside Information, or even Dance Smartly. But I think they could be competitive with this year's group if they were able to come close to transferring their form to dirt.
