All I've gotta say about Curlin.

[POINTGIVEN1985]

I wanted to make the first post race thread, i was wrong i loved flying first class, he dident do it...

As for Curlin WOW I WAS VERY IMPRESSED

[Pedigree Ann]

Good. Slow time. 1:50.1. Three races lifetime, no racing at 2. . Gonna take a lot of money on Derby Day.

Indeed. But the competition WAS a bit suspect.

as impressed as i was, and i was very impressed... i wont have him on any ticket in the derby....

[Scurlogue Champ]

I reckon he will go off favorite

Well......at least one 3-year-old doesn't suck.....

Good to see a horse of his talent win like that---in fact, an arguement can be made that his three lifetime races yielded the 3 best individual performances by any horse in the crop this year.

Deadly Dealer had a no excuse trip on an easy pace...he simply can't go long, Curlin got his final 1/8th in an explosive 11 and change.

Time was slow though wasn't it?

With that margin of victory, and the unimpressive races in the Wood, Santa Anita, Bluegrass, and Illinois Derby....I suspect you are right.

I was going to go with "Egads" or "Zounds," but I really think that "Yikes" says enough.

Projected Beyer calculated yet?

[blackthroatedwind]

In a year where no 3YO has been impressive Curlin stands out. I'm not saying I love his chances in the Derby but he simply cannot be ignored at this point.
