Cmon people....
She won a G1 at Churchill, why would she have any problem with that surface?

Maybe not Informed Decision, but Gio Ponti would most assuredly not be running on the dirt.

I wouldn't necessarily say that as fact. Turf horses have always come and tried the dirt in the Classic because of the purse and other, not sure what Gio Ponti has done on the dirt, but I am guessing it wasn't good, but for 5 million, people do crazy things.

in the slop...There are a ton of horses that hate the slop. Is slop really considered dirt, because a slop race, like a poly race, are run completely different from a fast dirt race

The group she beat was one of the worst I remember. What happened in the Ballerina? Everyone says Indian Blessing is done, she was no where NEAR HER.

Yup. The slop and the field had everything to do with Informed Decison's one win on dirt. She is an awesome synthetics horse though.
