He was....Helen Pitts had him in his debut.

It's not like he's some chemically enhanced Steve Asmussen move-up.

Randy Moss said today if he was going to bet $100 on the Belmont he would bet $100 Curlin/Hard Spun, cold exacta. Then for a tri put Rags underneath cold.

I love the cold exacta plays. And i love exactas with this format A/B,C at most. in other words, i like to limit my combos down to 1 or 2 horses per race or pass.

Does anyone know what Curlin went for at the sale and was it a yearling or 2yr old? If he was a home bred, was he offered and didnt reach his min?

I see Curlin as a single in this race. Not sure any three year old can beat him right now, certainly don't think these can.

yeah, i feel bad for pitts. and not saying curlin is chemically enhanced, but i am saying asmussen is less than respected in his chosen field.
