He had the "best horse" going in....of course he has a right to think he would win.

In his final workouts leading into the Derby---he was being trained in a manner that would suggest that his connections biggest concerns would be his ability to see out the distance.

After running a sub 12 final 1/8th in his previous start, at 9 furlongs...I'm not sure why.

I'm a bit confused here, Drugs. Who was your Derby bet? I thought it was AGS.
If you had such a strong opinion about Curlin, why publically go with AGS?

AGS was my Derby bet....though I said repeatedly before the race that Curlin was the "best horse."

As you know---there are many times when you bet against the "best horse."
