Curlin is the likely winner of The Preakness in my opinion.

I must agree that barring injury, they would be foolish not to run him. They bought him to race, and he very likely will win a Triple Crown race in the Preakness which will help recoup their purchase price and enhance his value.

On what grounds would you not run him?

Do you think 5 races in 15 weeks is really too much?

Let me add that in three of his four starts he essentially had a workout.

This horse basically has had one start. The Kentucky Derby

Think of the stud value for beating Street Sense.

Its asking a lot for him to run another big race being 5 races in 15 weeks.

i don't think curlins early races took much out of him. 5 lifetime starts by mid-may--no way that can be too much.

i like his chances in the preakness. it looked to me that the only running he did in the derby was in the stretch so he's probly ready to go for the preakness. also, should be a fair price behind street and spun.
