I think that Curlin does not deserve squat right now. If he wins the derby, then he gets my full respect.
To think of this guy being a ML favorite after 3 races, even if he has impressed.
I say this cause, SmartyJones destroyed opposition as a 2year old. 2-5 fav in the count fleet, no problem. Swept the Oaklawn meet and still went off at 5-1(ml 9/2).
So Curlin has no excuse to be anything under 8-1 IMO. If he wins good for him, but his odds have to be justified.
