Sounds great, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Come om Merasmag get your facts right. You can drink here in Dubai. It is very western here, no problems and a lot of fun! Come on Curlin we will bed down your big stall deep for you.And, I think you will love the 3F strech at Nad Al Sheba!

I agree with Steve Byk's comments about Curlin racing this year. As he pointed out it would be interesting to see if the ownership questions about Curlin were settled whether he would be racing. I think not.

Glad to see a champion and a horse of his calibur returning for thier 4yo campaign. However, he is going stink up alot of big races that were pretty good betting races this year. Most of his races will probaly be 5 and 6 horse fields, since I don't think connections are going to be lining up to take a shot against the BIG horse.

Unless there are claims of alterior motives, it's hard not to take note of Curlin's 4 year old campaign and it's benefit for racing. There is a lot of well deserved cynasism on this board, and one of the major topics is the dearth of older horses staying the course, so I'm pretty psyched to hear of Curlin continuing on. Am I missing anything?

Off topic but have you seen Latency? He was to arrive today.....

I'm happy he is racing. I just think he wouldn't be without the ownership problems

Hell there are many places in the US that you are not supposed to drink in the streets, although it is done quite frequently. I remember when they started to crack down on open containers at the Ohio State games, and the police were simply following the law...

He won't run more than 5 races and there will be absolutely no betting value...unless he's a play against, which will be highly unlikely.

Just don't care.
