The Spinster will be a better gauge of how established horses handle the stuff. Happy Ticket is a pretty consistent horse. If she runs a sub 95 Beyer and doesn't hit the top three here I'll give credence to the idea that there will be good dirt horses that can't handle the poly.

Congrats and my respect to you Sniper, sincerely.
You just laid on the line your thoughts and and reasons.
You have my respect, and are truly a gentleman with courage and honor.
