If they lose to Curlin, which would probably happen, he is a 3 year old going up against older running against what will be the all time leading money earner

If they win though, they just beat the all time leading money winner, beat older, and probably enhanced their breeding value.

Massive mouths with little between the legs.....

Me personally, I would take Curlin and lay 4 lengths on a dirt surface, and if they faced on turf I would probably take Curlin and lay 1.5 lengths.

Absolutely agree 100%. The Brown team has little to lose in breeding value with something to gain. Running second to Curlin would be the expected result of most any 3yo vs a 4yo champion. If they beat him, jeez....With a massive stud deal already signed, I just don't see the point of finding a 3yo turf race with a moderate purse whether it's a graded stakes or not.
