The trend has been unmistakable. Time and again in recent months, across all divisions, horses have been leaving Southern California, having raced or trained on the synthetic surfaces at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park, and won when moving to dirt.
The most notable victory was by Zardana, who upset Rachel Alexandra, the 2009 Horse of the Year, in the New Orleans Ladies at Fair Grounds. Freedom Star won the Azeri here at Oaklawn Park. Harissa took the Sunland Park Oaks. Goldsville went to Aqueduct and won two straight races, including the Excelsior for older horses last Saturday.
