Curlin

[byalip]

Anyone who doubts Curlin's ability better review the start of the AK Derby. Watch how he uses his tactical speed to establish his path. A lessor horse might not have had the turn of foot OR the guts to dominate the path he chose. Curlin easily could have been squeezed back if he was faint of heart...but he got his position.

Then he relaxed.

Then he turned it up a notch and took off.

He's my pick and has been since the Rebel. Too bad about the odds, but so far I have some hope...he's no better than #4 on most nat'l. handicapper's lists.
