No, as to the general proposition of synth to dirt. I have no opinion yet, on this specific horse, or any other for that matter, but I don't believe you can draw a line through every horse with synth success and label them "specialists." The problem is that some will be, and some won't. Same issue with moving from a different dirt surface to Churchill. Or even pedigree issues. In one way or another, they're all being asked to do something they haven't done before, and to do it surrounded by nineteen other horses and a throng of screaming inebriates. Usually, when I lose a race, I can rationalize all sorts of woulda, shoulda, couldas. On those very rare occasions when I actually hit the Derby, I'm still not sure why I got it right.
