Even if Curlin does 'bounce', he could still win if he doesn't regress too much. While I don't think he's going to win (like someone else said, I don't care for the Smart Strike), I can't see him finishing out of the money.

I also don't believe that Smarty Jones 'bounced' in the Belmont. He got caught up in a speed duel and got outfinished by a horse bred to go a mile and a half. JMO.

Smart Strike has sired horses like Fabulous Strike, but he's also had some pretty good runners that like to go all day. English Channel comes to mind, even Sedgefield.

Jerry Brown is making a profit selling his figures and graphs (I would guess).

It is the same way with Beyer or most of the successful figure salesman. - When you ask them about the big race, they are going to give you reasons like graph pattern,triple digit beyer earners etc...
It's all very interesting reading, but I take it with a grain of salt.

Not to mention Tungsten Strike, who has won two group races in Britain at 2 miles.
