Being a fan of horse racing and not in the business, I would never 2nd guess a trainer who has been around as long as Bill curin, but shipping from California to Florida for the 2nd time in 5 weeks and running in the FL Derby instead of running (as a probable favorite) in the Santa Anita Derby is mind boggling. The timing is better (4 weeks to the Derby) and although the field looks weaker, it would still be a solid prep and a $1 Million purse.
It seemed he was blowing so much smoke about a rematch with Scat Daddy and not thinking of the long-term affects.
