It's been pretty clear for awhile that Jackson is making a statement about taking a stab at the all time earnings mark besides proving that he welcomes a chance to take on BB. Since the poly issue precludes a meeting at the BC, a more creative answer to luring both entrants to the same race this year seems unlikely unless some carnival like match race suddenly becomes a possibility. The Classic is a bad idea if yesterday's performance is the best Curlin has left in him this year.....He hung around longer than most of the others who had any measure of success perhaps it's time to take a step back and see how the next month or so unfolds rather than pushing him further right now
