THis was mentioned in the l'ville paper this am. I remember when Barbaro's owners said that after tc chase they were seriously considering doing this as Barclay Tagg said that BArbaro was the best grass horse he had ever seen. We all know what happened. I said that if an American horse that i think can win goes over for that ive GOT to be there for it. My ? is do we think that Curlin can go over the lawn? i know he is fast and tought as nails but i wonder if he has that acceleration that it takes to win the big races on the turf esp in an event like this. i seem to remember thinking that his lack of instant burst is what caust him in the Belmont as Rags quickened a lot faster then he did. Now he did get right there with her but i would have to see a grass race of his before shelling out what 3k? to go to Paris. Man would it not be fun to go over there and if he were to dominate Paris may never be the same b/c i would friggin go wild. I've been on here before not exactly with the curlin lovefest but the fact that they brought him back to run at 4 shows me something. In the article today the writer wrote that they are losing 15 million dollars this year by not having him at stud. Would love to see it happen.There going workout on the grass here at CD. Man i'd love to see that.
