Wouldn't Curlin strike you as a horse who was majorly undertrained coming into the race? I realize his trainer got him after a wire-to-wire 7 furlong maiden score. I saw tape of his final two works leading into the Derby, and from what I understand, he has pretty much been restrained throughout in every workout he's had for Assmussen.
Perhaps initally fearing that Curlin wouldn't rate, and might not out see out 10 furlongs, led to him being trained that way?

tougher call because he was behind the 8 ball with a horse who got into the game so late. However he did race just 3 weeks prior.
