Of course, those two would probably prefer to be associated with a horse with at least an outside chance.

Your best guess at odds for Curlin in the "Arc".

Good news for Belmont, bad for AP?

Certainly looks like it. This may also change Curlin's course for the rest of the year.

I thought I saw somewhere that on a European bookmaker's "future book" for the Arc, Curlin is listed at 14-1.

It would be great if he showed up at Belmont.

Then he can run in the Woodward at Saratoga.

Is that your way of saying you think the France plans are a bunch of BS or that you think he'd get beat in the Man o War?

I think it is his way of saying that he doesn't think the horse is much on the turf

While I have no real opinion on it, the horse is bred out the ass for the lawn, so he could even be better then he is on the dirt, which would be real freaky

I think this is what is referred to as " speaking out of your ass. "

How isn't he bred for the turf, his sire has thrown multiple turf stars and has Deputy Minister on his bottom. It isn't Kingmambo over a Theatrical mare but there is green in his pedigree

From a breeding perspective, I see no reason why he wouldn't take to the lawn.

I wonder if this latest development would make them consider ditching -- or at least delaying -- the turf plans and going in the Whitney instead of the Man O' War. You'd have to imagine the former would be the easier race for him, but then again, as weak as the turf division is, he may be able to be win the Man O' War..

I would answer yes and yes.
