If the concern is that the rider needs to get familiar with the horse, then have him ride Curlin in the Foy as well.

I agree..Going to be tough enough for Curlin, but maybe with a "top" jock from over there he might have at least some shot at pulling it off. I would love to see Curlin achieve what no horse thus far has done, but IMO using Albarado would be a mistake. It will be interesting to see what all develops over the next few months.
