Curlin May Skip Stephen Foster due to Weight

[Merlinsky]

I can't figure out why a)they carry 126 in the TC and that's not a problem, and b) 2 lbs more is gonna dent his ability.....they're really just mad the other horses got so little in comparison and it's not their fault they're facing a reigning HOY and World Cup winner. He's done so well they get the break. He can carry the weight just fine. Asmussen needs to grow up and take a shot. And I though Frankel was whiney about weight. Not that it's something to crow about in terms of weight-carrying but they won't give him 130 plus out of fear and that's not right. Tracks shouldn't be bullied with a 'I'm gonna take my horse and go home' when they're trying to do what the conditions call for and handicap the bloody race. That's their job.
