Bet I can name more than have won graded stakes over fast and off tracks.

Actually you are twisting what I said. My point was that horses take to the track or they don't which is absolutely true. There is nothing false about my statement if you read it correctly.

And your argument doesn't really hold any weight unless you can give me percentages. Of course more horses have won on dirt and off tracks because they run most of their races on dirt. And I have no idea what GSW has to do with anything. The point was horses (claimers or graded stakes winners) either take to the track or they do not. Many trainers have pointed this out repeatedly when they ship their horses in a day or two before a race instead of a week before the race.
