Unlike your metabolism ... I won't ignore you.

I don't think it's any harder making figures for synthetic than it is for dirt. In fact, it's probably easier at most synthetic tracks.

The supposed "problems" come when the horses change surfaces.

Synthetic tracks make top horses look a little worse than they are - and they make bad horses look a little better than they are. As your facebook homeboy Baffert likes to say.

If you win by 3 lengths on turf or synthetic - it's a full fledged ass kicking. If you beat a field by the same margin on dirt ... it's a more competitive race.

That is why a bunch of horses who would consistantly run 50's on synthetic would not even come close to being able to run that fast when put on dirt. However, synthetic horses at the top end who handle dirt should be able to run faster numbers on dirt because dirt races are almost always truly run.
