I'll admit he ran a hell of a lot better than I thought he would in Dubai (even though he did look better the two morning before the race compared to his stable companions), but saying a horse will get over dirt because he handled Tapeta is void of all logic. And if you don't think that is foolish, just think of it this way...if you say it for him, you'd have to say it for every other winner there, and we KNOW that is far from the truth. It's not even a brutally weak argument, it's a non-starter.
