Steve, would it be fair to say that none of the "sheet" people were touting Curlin because he basically has done something no other horse has ever done, aka starting off his career with amazing figs, and never going backwards despite so many efforts in such a short period of time (5 races in 15 weeks, starting with zero, and finishing with negative ?)
I've never seen a sheet like Curlin's, have you? From a TG standpoint, this horse started at zero, stayed at the same level up until Saturday... to have expected a monster race off the 2 week turnaround was hard to imagine. I wonder if any other horse who ran in the Derby has run a big top in the Preakness?
