How far will Curlin win by?

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.

I hope so Brock, but I doubt it! Anyway, a wonderful performance by Curlin...who did he beat? Every horse brave enough (or foolish enough) to challenge him. Hard to believe that he's only been running slightly over a year...had they not rushed him to the Derby he could easily be undefeated (I'm basing that on him being a lot fresher for the Belmont had he started in the Preakness rather than the Derby)...conjecture I know but this is a really really nice animal!

I agree in fact one of the tvg announcers made the comment that its been just over a year since he broke his maiden. Think what he has accomplished in a year....

Thank you, Helen Pitts and crew, for working hard to get this horse to the track.
