Red Rocks, Better Talk Now, Grand Couturier, Sudan, Interpatation, Cosmonaut, Distorted Reality, Operation Red Dawn.

Could be one hell of a race.

He'd have to give 7lbs away to Curlin under the conditions of the race the way I read them.

Dancing Forever is skipping the Man O' War and pointing to the Sword Dancer. You're right about the weights, in fact both Grand Couturier and Better Talk Now will have to give Curlin 4 lbs.

Curlin's connections will certainly know where they stand regarding his abilities on turf after the man o war. If he can toy with the likes of Red Rocks (even though he is deeply flattered by being called a BC Turf winner!) , they know they have a very good turf horse..

Why is Red Rocks coming this early? Especially since the older Euros are seemingly soft this year.

I think it's a distinct possibility. I also think that even if he runs well or wins this Saturday, he's still got no shot in the Arc.

Cosmonaut is going to the Arlington Handicap, Distorted Reality too and maybe Operation Red Dawn (was split 50-50 between them the last I heard).

Thankfully those defections detract very little from the awesomeness of the Man O' War.

I wonder if any of the others will see Curlin and head to AP instead?

Actually that's not true as two of them would have helped make the pace at least a little honest.
