Is there a way to tell

[Betsy]

If a horse that obviously likes synthetics will take to the dirt? Perhaps stride makes a difference? I'm thinking in particular of Stardom Bound, who I hope can transfer her brilliant form to the dirt; it would be a shame if she could not. What makes me think she can do it is that her trainer, Chris Paasch, was very high on her at the Ocala sale in March and that's a dirt track. Also, Paasch thought she was his best two year old before she even debuted; if she worked at all at HP, then based on his comments, SB should handle the dirt.

Any thoughts? Thanks!
