I felt his best races were on synthetic anyways, regardless of the figures earned. The race he was coming out of was a piece of crap off the turfer with 3 horses. I used him underneath because I knew he'd be closing late like he did at KEE and WO. And I agree Summer Bird ran really well considering he looked like he was running in quicksand, very uncomfortable on the surface.

The synth horses will fare much better on dirt than the dirt horses fared on synth (unless they suck).
