I hope so Brock, but I doubt it! Anyway, a wonderful performance by Curlin...who did he beat? Every horse brave enough (or foolish enough) to challenge him. Hard to believe that he's only been running slightly over a year...had they not rushed him to the Derby he could easily be undefeated (I'm basing that on him being a lot fresher for the Belmont had he started in the Preakness rather than the Derby)...conjecture I know but this is a really really nice animal!
