Set a great example for Curlin's ride .

Anyone catch this quote from Iavarone?

Asked what impressed them the most about the filly, Iavarone said: “Her hip and shoulder. She's a big, beautiful filly and we know she can run. I think Rick is going to help her out. Hopefully, we can have a really big campaign (in 2009).”

Huh? "Rick is going to help her out?" How's that exactly? Is there something wrong with her that needs the horsemanship genius of Dick Jr.? While a move up would certainly be typical, I'm curious how Dutrow can have her 'better' than Chris Paasch has had her... Iavarone talks like this is some hopeless plug that needs that ol' Dutrow magic to be turned into a real racehorse... ala Benny the Bull or Kip Deville. Amazing knack for always saying the wrong thing.

Either that, or he's well aware of Paasch's record with 3yos.

Sounds like Bobby Frankel will be doing most of the helping anyways...

Methinks Paasch is on Stevie's protected list.
