The reason that I know that about the horrible dirt surface in Cali before synthetic is because someone I know is closely associated with a lot of the big guys in racing out on the west coast. Wish he would pipe in on this thread because a lot of these questions would get answered.

Shirreffs is one of the good guys in racing, and is a terrific, conservative trainer. If he says that there are more hind-end injuries, then that is more than likely the case. I trust his judgment.
