Two horses, right now the best by far in their crop battled it out and Curlin got the head bob...all credit goes to Curlin and his connections. Sometimes you lose by the length of the stretch and sometimes a nose hair...it's called horse racing and there doesn't have to be someone to blame!

It was a great race, so quite naturally people on a horse racing forum may want to comb over every aspect of the race and debate it. Where is it written that we can only talk about things that effect the outcome?

Weren't you the one defending a thread about the possibility of contact between Street Sense and Hard Spun in the derby? In fact I think you started that thread and you said it was interesting even though you admitted that it had no effect on the outcome.

This time the outcome was very close so I feel there does exist some possibility that the look-back may have been costly. Doesn't mean I'm blaming anyone and it doesn't mean that I didn't thoroughly enjoy the race.
