Default Mambo confirmed for Gold Cup

Prado aboard, no 'Mr. Calvin Borel'.

Should make the race more interesting.

Do you give him a honest chance to upset Curlin ?

Mambo in Seattle has a chance. We don't know for sure how good he is, since he's an improving 3 year old. Sure there's a chance he might not improve in this race....but he might also improve by 5 or 10 beyer points. It's better than taking Curlin at whatever short, short price he will be.

As an improving 3yo he might have a chance at a horse like Delightful Kiss this year. This 3yo crop is so atrocious though that to think a horse that just lost a head bob to Colonel John is going to contend with Curlin is delusional at best and clinically insane at worst.

your wrong, and you sound delusional yourself... Curlins last 3 have been nothing more then average... If Mambo improves 5-10 points off of his last he is right there, take into mind the fact that Curlin could be regressing at this point in his career... i have to be clear where i stand, i will use mambo in all bets, wont be suprised if he wins, and also wont be suprised if curlin blows him away.... Is that fair ?
