With the 1.5 mile distance, they could basically set any number they want. I was pretty sure whatever number they came up with would confirm that Curlin bounced. We all saw how lousy Curlin ran, right?

when a horse bounces it doesnt necessarily mean that they are going to run a terrible/lousy race. it means their effort will not be a strong as the horse's prior race. it was quite evident that Curlin could bounce and still win the race and he almost did. had he run the same number that he did in the preakness he wouldve won easily.
