The last time Black Onyx ran on dirt, he finished 17 lengths behind Gunderman... and Gunderman came back and finished 17 lengths behind Verrazano in his very next start.
I'm obviously not suggesting Verrazano is 34 lengths the better dirt horse, but using the honest Gunderman as a measuring stick makes it look that way.
I think Black Onyx probably is a turf/synthetic horse. His dirt form isn't impressive at all.
