After the Derby, I noticed in Graham Motion\'s stats that his horses going synth to dirt win 26% of the time vs. 18% overall. So although the sample is small, it was a clue - along with a good workout at CD - that the switch might be favorable.

I passed on Animal Kingdom because he had no dirt experience, but this might have changed my mind. Anyone else notice this?

Interestingly, this stat is not shown for most of the other Derby trainers. Question to Thorograph: have you ever done a statistical analysis of this figure?
