Curlin is this years Lawyer Ron. Pretty much too the same route to the Derby and the result will be the same.
Curlin has run against nothing and will get demolished against the big ones. If CQ is not hurt anything above 7/1 will be great on him

There is the experience issue for sure but Curlin runs very professionally and fast. I think DrugS said it and I agree, Curlin has perhaps turned in the three most impressive starts by a 3yo this year. I wouldn't touch CQ in the derby with a ten foot pole. by the way, what do you mean when you say Curlin is taking the same route to the derby as Lawyer Ron? Because they both ran in the Ark Derby?different year, different horse, there is no connection between them. besides, its also the route taken by Afleet Alex and Smarty Jones.

No way you get 8/1 on Curlin. I don't care what history says, Curlin will be the favorite. 3/1 if you are lucky. I've never been a fan of CQ, but I think the layoff will raise some doubt and you may get a higher price than you should. Outside of Curlin, I think the Scat Daddy and Hard Spun might this years "worth a shot." There are a whole lot of angles that will be presented and all of them will probably make sense. It's gonna be interesting that's for sure.

It'll be interesting to see the fig that the beyer boys give to Curlin. My guess is, it will be a good one, considering how far he beat the rest of the field. I know he's bucking history with so few starts, but the race reminded me a lot of Smarty's Arkansas Derby when he decided to put Purge away. It was sort of like "ho hum, I guess it's time to do some serious running" and that was the end of that. Comparisons with Lawyer Ron seem more appropriate for a lot of the rest of the field for the upcoming KD.

On Derby day I dont care about odds. I know that I am going to get fair odds on the horse that I like. I usually do not bet the Derby as a seperate betting interest. I use the Derby as the last leg of my pick 3 and I usually go 10 deep.
