Two horses, right now the best by far in their crop battled it out and Curlin got the head bob...all credit goes to Curlin and his connections. Sometimes you lose by the length of the stretch and sometimes a nose hair...it's called horse racing and there doesn't have to be someone to blame!

Thanks Somerfrost.
That peek didn't cost the horse a bit.
There's no blame in this one.
Both good horses, good rides.
Some people want to make more out of something than needs to be.
Look at the thread about the 3yo crop. Hmmm. Seems that some don't know a danged thing about cycles, that some peak at different times.
Always the comparisons, always the questions, always the blame.
Let's just say we saw a race worth remembering.
I'm also happy for Matz in his win in the Barbaro, and for the Ramsey's, for their win on the undercard also.
Many more races ahead.
Hope the "fans" don't try to over think it all. It's horse racing, afterall.
