I do too. I wasnt impressed with Curlin's turf debut. I dont think he he caught either Red Rocks or Better Talk Now in their primes, so I am not buying the fact that both are BC champions. They are but neither of them are where they were in terms of form when they won their BC races.
As far as dirt goes, although I think Curlin is the better animal, I wouldnt take a short price on him against Big brown, strictly from the tactical advantage Big Brown would have in the race.
I'd love to see either scenario but we as fans know better that we wont get these kinds of matchups anymore. This isnt the 90's anymore.
