It is $1183 for a dollar. Not that I am complaining but I thought it would be more.

Curlin looks GREAT, Head up, ears forward, tail up and he is just the picture of what a champion should look like going into this race.

That is what a 2/5 shot should run like.

With Happy Boy scratching - that field looked incredibly shaky besides for Curlin.

I would rate his Breeders Cup Classic win as clearly a better performance than his World Cup win.

After Robbie turned him loose he went by and lead by about 2 . looked like he started to relax, Robbie then hit him a couple of times to remind him that the race wasnt over and then he kept drawing off.Dont think the whip was necesary but it proved that he does respond.

Yes, congrats, Paul!

Wish we could see Curlin back in the US. Wish we could see what more good 3-year-old colts turn out to look like at 4 or 5.

good point.. i was thinking about this myself especially when Meydan opens in 2010 with a $10million purse. surely that might make a few owners think twice about retiring straight after a 3yo career.
