Back in late January/early February when Curlin was nominated for the Mineshaft here at the Fairgrounds, they were also deciding if he would go to Dubai. So CD offered to make the Mineshaft purse a million if he would run here.
Since they have now upped the Foster purse to a million, I am thinking when the deal was being made it was offered to have Curlin make his first run in the US after the HOY at ANY CD property.
Just a guess...I'll stay out of the rest of this now. Carry on....
