I'll just say that different trainers have different methods.
The main goal is to get the horse ready for the conditions, factor in distance and running style, and keep the horse fit (not hurt or too stressed).
H Allen Jerkens and Jim J usually put wind sprints in their mix close to race day. Others opt to go for longer and easier.
Again, I'm no expert. I'm trying to see what the successful ones do.
On a side note, I agree with you about Curlin. I'll watch what happens with Hard Spun. HS will need something to boost endurance, as a mile and a half is lots longer than his last when he struggled.
I don't know anything about how Digger is training up to this.
We'll see.

Just checking to see if my post registers this time.
