Curlin improved in the Arkansas Derby in terms of raw fractions vs the 8.5furlong Rebel. Some of that was due to the trip but it was impressive. Curlin actually came home the last 3 furlongs in the Arkansas faster than Tiago came home the last three in the Santa Anita.

I think Curlin will be right with the best horses on Derby day, I don't expect him to win, but it wouldn't be shocked.
