Mitch I remember that race well. The horse paid $50 and the ex over $600. Tim Brothers was making his 1st trip from England and paid for his whole trip with that race. Jeebs to answer your question if I believe the horse is in reasonable form then I will go back and get a dirt line if there's a good line to use. I would also add the I tend to go back less with cheaper horses and also look to see how the trainer does with this type of move. In the East when turf racing resumes in the Spring you will see this a lot. Horses who didn't go to Fla or other warm weather tracks have either been laid up or been running over dirt surfaces. Only you can make this choice based on your feel and record keeping. It really is a subjective call
