FG Jan 18 - Pace and Cap

I wonder if someone can help me understand the following:

Silver Dust is cross entered in the 10th (dirt) and 11th (turf) tomorrow at Fair Grounds.

His EPR and TPR ratings are not the same, driven by differences in the EPR. His ratings for the 11th are higher than those for the 10th.

I see that the APV and CR are higher for the dirt race, and I would have expected his EPR rating for the 10th (dirt, his preferred surface) would have been higher than the 11th, the race on the turf. Don't know how others feel, but I don't find that dirt early speed transfers to turf - synthetic maybe, but dirt, not very often.

Thanks

Bill
