It seems to be a common thread amongst the Sartin programs RE: the handling of a horse moving turf to dirt and vice versa. Horses like GOOD SAMARITAN last summer, and CATHOLIC BOY and YOSHIDA were tough to buy off their lines and line scores, yet handled the surface switch and ran huge with little to no indication that it was forthcoming. At the end of the day, you just never know how a horse will take to a surface switch, especially the first time. However, it is a frustrating fact of life that our tools will sometimes have a tough time supporting such a horse and at times, we will have to live and die by the sword.
