112, 111 and 110 beyers are subpar? Interesting...Your understanding of the game continues to shine. Yes, the real Curlin steroids or not proved he was the best dirt horse in training last year and this. He won the Dubai World Cup, Stephan Foster, Whitney, Jockey Club Gold Cup and was second to a former BC winner in his first and only turf start this year, a year you admit he was steroid free. He also, for all the flack he took ran in the BC on a surface foreign to him that favors horses that run on the turf. He was 4th. What a fraud. So, I ask again, what more could he have done this year? Run faster. I laughed.
The funniest thing about all of this is I don't even really like Curlin that much. I was a big fan of Street Sense. I just dislike stupidity so much that I have no problem defending him when stupidity rears it's ugly head. I have no idea what your real hard on for him is, but whatever it is, it's kind of sad.
You can ignore my points about the countless horses the last couple decades that were on the same steroid regimens that Curlin was. You can ignore my point that his progression, like a lot of horses that are rushed into the Triple Crown was not what you would have liked to see. But, he progressed so much in so little time it was almost impossible for him to show the progressin like horses used to. I'm not sure what more you would have liked him to accomplish, but his record speaks for himself. It's fine. Racing has changed.
You seem angry that Curlin, while winning every dirt race he ran in this year didn't do it fast enough for you. That's quite the compelling arguement. I think it's pretty obvious who the real fraud is and it's not Curlin....
