I don't think he would do very well, in europe you will have the French and Coolmore horses prepping all year to hopefully peak in the Arc, I don't think you can suddenly change course and decide off one grass race to compete in arguably the most prestigious turf race in the world. I'd love to see it happen but Curlin would be up against it .

Curlin will probably need to be just about performing to his dirt ratings to be winning the Arc and that is an extremely tough ask..
