But, do you really deny Curlin was a good horse? Is he an all time great? Of course not. Is he even close to as good as Jess Jackson thinks? Of course not, but you're a pretty knowledgable fan. He's not Spectacular Bid good, but he's not Tomcito either.

I understand being turned off by everything on the human side of Curlin. And the media has made it difficult to defend him because of their antics. But, think about the last 2 years without Curlin. That's some scary bad racing. Especially this year.

Very well said.
