They seem pretty intent on getting something out of this situation sooner rather than later. Rooting for the court to keep holding things up might not work out for ya. I don't think Jackson would be doing this the way his is if he weren't pretty eager to get Curlin to stud for this spring so he's probably inclined to pay the most for that last 20% of anybody. If they want to maximize its value, that's the way to do it. Let Jackson's own time-sensitive eagerness bid him up.

As much as I'd like to keep seeing Curlin, esp. cuz the handicap division for males on dirt looks like it could end up a desert wasteland, he won't be going back to the Classic I think that's clear unless he develops some newfound love of Pro Ride. There's only so much more he can do. Win the record for pure N.A. earnings I guess which I believe Skip Away holds but really, the only thing that would get my attention would be an effort to face Zenyatta (which means they'd have to get Shirreffs to send her against males). Is there anybody worth trying to beat as an older male next year?
