The horses that are training and racing on synthetic tracks seem to have more bottom and if they get a hold of the dirt they have something left when the real racing starts at the 1/4 pole.

This is an empty theory especially since each synthetic surface is so different.

Not true, but that's just a differance of opinions. I want revenge took to the dirt and it sure looked like he had alot left in the tank, but that was due to he was a much better horse and had nothing to do with his conditioning. You're right and I was wrong, please accept my humble apology.
