Curlin & the Classic

[Withers]

Anyone else totally disgusted by the Santa Anita surface? ProRider my bottom!!!

If we want to race on grass, why don't we just race on grass -- replace the main track with turf and be done with it?

I don't understand why the US industry is taking the one thing we've been doing for the last 100 years -- dirt racing -- and destroying it.

Curlin lost -- no big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it's a damn shame when the most sporting owner in the last decade is unable to race his dirt champion on a dirt surface in the most important US-based raced of the year.
