There was an article in the DRF the other day where Cox said he tried to copy Baffert's training style, which is more or less working them harder (more often, faster, and longer). To me, that seems like the style that works best on dirt. I guess there could be some debate about soundness when you use that style, but for the horses that stay sound it seems to work. On turf, you more or less want your horse to be able to relax and finish fast. Most of the successful turf trainers don't train like Baffert. And if you notice, Baffert doesn't have as much success on turf.
