Curlin has done nothing wrong, but he's beaten nobody (which obviously isn't his fault).

I just can't support a horse who hasn't faced and/or beaten a single contender that will be lined up next to him on May 5 (other than Teufelsberg, possibly).
I'm also secretly hoping he gets a terrible post position so I can toss him with less weighing on my consceince.
