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.

I don't think he's getting "better and better". Still a nice win against a bunch of dogs.

According to the bloodhorse page, they should be showing it on ABC at 2:30. If not then, I'm sure they will on ESPN2 when they show the Florida Derby this afternoon.

A grudging thanks to NYC OTB channel for showing it right after it happened. I guess it was just more important to show the 2nd replay of AQ's 3rd race than to show it live.

Well Armed was (faintly) on the Kentucky Derby radar two years back and then disappeared. It's nice to see he grew into a pretty nice horse.

That's a contractual issue. NYC OTB had no choice. NYRA didn't show it live either or it's fans would have seen in "on time." I had the NYRA feed and the Dubai feed in front of me during the race. All NY did was move the 2nd back to 1:24. How 'bout that Wild Geese??!

Except for here in Lexington, KY, The Horse Capital of the World, where ABC is showing a 1/2 hour paid commercial for a steam wrinkle remover.

Sigh .....

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.
