Hey I'm just throwing it out there. I never used to be a fan and I know NLS isn't exactly Lure, but the horse is durable and has some class.

I like the horse, too. It will be fun to see what he can do in the next half year.

Enough with this horse. You would think he was the Triple Crown winner. He has yet to beat a decent turf horse and his beyers continue in the sub 105 range.

Maybe next year he will be a special horse but he has done very little compared to the good three year olds. That is why he is coming back. Nobody is impressed with him on the track or his pedigree.

You have to give him credit for running more than 3 times a year.
He may not put up huge speed figs, but who cares - the industry needs more horses like this who actually run.

How can anyone be a fan of a horse like Curlin who runs 4 times a year, and is questionable to run as a 4 year old.
