Another easy work for Curlin

TFM,

I think he needs a great trip, while the other two have poor trips, to have a chance. If they all get a fair shot, Curlin is no better than 3rd best.

If Hard Spun gets a rough trip, it is very unlikely that Street Sense will. If the Derby winner gets a rough trip, it most likely means Hard Spun is not. I think either of those beats Curlin even with moderate adversity. I'm not even convinced he is better than Sedgefield or King of the Roxy.

I don't see why anyone has to get a 'rough trip'. HS will probably not get the lead and will have to come from just off the pace. (Is this a rough trip for him? or maybe we could arrange for some DEAD speed types to 'chase' him -- no such luck this time.)

Curlin will sit a bit behind that one and SS will be towards the rear of the pack. HS and Curlin will go at it initially and then SS will put in his run. Of course, with Chelokee in the race (unless he's not going), SS will not have a clear rail run throughout the race. Would that make it a poor trip for him?

All I ask for is to get a clear run, after having good position around the track. I'm assuming Albarado can do that.
