Curlin retired?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I'd be shocked if the sheets have the race coming back as fast as the Beyer. He carried 126lbs and was hung wide - these days, when that happens and a horse still runs a 112 Beyer it comes back a virtually near all-time record performance on sheets.

The pace figure for the Woodward was 23 points faster than the final figure. You look at the days other route race - horses racing dead last and second to last after the first six furlongs - through a 1:12.70 pace in a 9 horse field - catapulted past the rest of the field and had four lengths on the 3rd place finisher at the finish.

A.P Arrow got a 102 Beyer in the Woodward and he was the horse who clearly ran the most shockingly poor race to me. He had the race unfold perfectly for him and still got beat 6.75 lengths to Curlin at level weight...even worse, he was defeated by both a fried Past The Point and a fried Wanderin Boy with no excuse.
