From a breeding perspective, I see no reason why he wouldn't take to the lawn.

First of all, you said " he is bred out the ass for turf " which is the overstatement of the year and the kind of crap the VI spews here. Now you seem to be switching gears. I never said he had no turf breeding, and there is plenty of sire influence, but maybe you should also take a good look at his dam side production. I am not saying this is even the most important thing, however you are basically making definitive assertions with, at best, a minor amount of information.
On the final remark, it would also be fair to say the opposite. I am not saying that will be the case but more I am pointing out the uselessness of the comment.
Here's the bottom line, any smart horseplayer looks to bet against horses like Curlin, a good dirt horse that is overbet when trying the turf for the first time. However, apparently with some's desperate zest to annoint Curlin the greatest horse since Hindoo, all common sense is flying out the window.
