From what the numbers at the start of the thread show, only The Pamplemousse was fast enough so the other synthetic horses will have to actually improve on the dirt to contend.
So this is assuming they have the same ability on both surfaces. I was thinking, even if you could convert Woodbine figures for those who are shipping into Mountaineer, isn't it a guess as to whether the Woodbine shipper even likes real dirt?
