Regarding turf horses.....

IMHO....usually early front runners on turf can adapt well to dirt surfaces..closers, especially deep one Pace closers on turf are at a huge disadvantage when switching to dirt..

The percent median is a good gauge to evaluate the matchup of turf horses on dirt...
Note...this is in races where there are no comparable recent Pace lines to evaluate..
I believe there are some who stress to pass to look for a clean race..

At fairplex especially at races at a mile and 1/16th and up...for some reasons...turf horses do very well...some trainers like Jeff Mullins have figured these races well....
