I'd have to think the conditions of the race are why they wanted him to run in this spot so bad - and why Shug didn't even bother to nominate Dancing Forever...who would have had to give away 7lbs to Curlin and 3lbs away to a pair of former BC Turf winners. Einstein would have also had to carry 123 in this spot.

Well hold on now. Assmussen will probably want his own outrider for Curlin, a new gate crew with more neutral attire and he's still interviewing for the race call. But I hear Durkin is ALMOST a shoe-in. I am excited about the horse and the race. But, once again, we are faced with having to ignore the connections.
