He's tricky because a horse like Gentlemen was a better dirt horse and a better turf horse ... but Lava Man came at a down time in the quality of racing and that allowed him to have a little better looking resume than a horse like Gentlemen.

Atticus is interesting ... in his final 2 career starts, he won the Grade 2 Arcadia on the turf by 3 lengths with a 115 Beyer ... than won the Grade 1 Oaklawn Park Handicap on the dirt by 3 lengths with a 114 Beyer. He was 2nd in Europe in a Gr 1 English Derby prep as a 3yo as well... but possibly didn't do enough to slip in a top 20.
