Like Secretariat, Curlin pretty much has nothing to prove on dirt, and it would just be a display of versatility were he to win a big turf stakes. By the same reasoning, you might suggest that he show up for the BC at Santa Anita, too.

i am in no way suggesting a race on turf would raise his fee, that's been my point all along--i think he's reaches his ceiling stud-fee wise. i think jess jackson has a once in a life time horse, and it's in the twilight of HIS life. i don't imagine he'd look back fondly to curlins retirement, but races leave a wealth of memories. i'm glad he's kept him out there, just wish there were more like him.
i agree he has nothing more to show on dirt. as for santa anita, i'll be surprised if he shows, since he's never run on awt to my knowledge.
