[The Indomitable DrugS]

I basically agree that Nashoba's Key hasn't beaten much of anything on either surface.

Citronaide being the one possible lone exception - but that was at 10 furlongs, a little further than her ideal distance...and NK lost two in a row on turf after that.

If you look at who's finished 2nd behind her in her four synthetic track wins....

* Dawn After Dawn (She was beaten 15 lengths at 17/1 odds in her final Eastern start at Delaware park last year)

* Bai and Bai (a horse that has never won on a synthetic...and has run at tracks like Pleasanton, Fairplex, and Bay Meadows recently)

* Balance (never won on a synthetic)

* Hystericalady (never won on a synthetic)

It's really not an impressive hit list...and while the "who did you beat?" stuff can be very overrated - when she faces a Zenyatta she will have her chance to beat something of talent and promise who is effective on synthetics.
