![]() Almost all of the best Eastern dirt horses who went out there for the two Breeders Cup races struggled with it... most of them ran too bad to be true.
But look at a race like the Pacific Classic. * 2009: A deep closing router with a turf sire - Richard's Kid .. took forever to get through his conditions racing on the dirt at LRL and Philly Park - he goes out there and wins the Pacific Classic. * 2008: Go Between ... an Eastern turf horse from a stictly European female family - he made his first dozen or so starts in the East. He goes out and wins the Pacific Classic. * 2007: Student Council ... an Eastern based horse sired by Kingmambo who made his first 20 or so starts in the East goes out there and wins the Pacific Classic. All 3 Pacific Classics on synthetic have been won by slowpoke Eastern horses with turf pedigrees.... but those aren't the kind of Eastern horses that get any respect. The dirt horses that go out to Cal and bomb are the ones who get the respect. Horses like Richard's Kid, Student Council, and Go Between would have been murdered by So. Cal dirt horses if they shipped out to try the Pac Classic before Poly was put in. |

![]() I just find this argument a little shallow, when it was on dirt I cant recall a shipper the last decade.
