only if it is a off the turf race. Havent there been races that have gone from dirt races to turf races and maintained the same status? lots of races switch distances all the time with no change in grades. The graded system is in need of a complete overhaul anyway

i don't know about dirt to turf. but if they don't lose it, why do they take it for going to the main track? that makes no sense...
but it is due an overhaul.

because a field of turf horses running on dirt is rarely representative of a race of a similar grade on the dirt. the committee does not have to drop the grade for an off the turfer though.

I'm just glad we all got to see M LUTE put it all together again. I knew they couldn't run with him if he stayed together (physically)during the race. That's the most talented horse Baffert has ever trained.

I am just agreeing with what Baffert already said. Obviously, the horse has had a lot of problems, but when he runs his A race, you don't have to worry about getting beat by a better horse.

The only reason Midnight Lute won is because it was synthetic and he is a turf horse. Well at least thats what I am gathering reading all these threads about the non turf races and the winners.
