GC always got his just due as a racer, and he's overrated as a sire. especially by you.

i thought he got a lot of credit here, especially after his bc--and that that was why they kept him here to stand.

i really have no idea, and i don't think it'll ever happen anyway. i usually will talk about what has happened, not speculate about things that probably won't.
heatseeker couldn't beat tiago (and yes, he was giving weight) so i''m supposed to think he can get curlin out of a canter?

i don't think any horse out there, based on current form, can beat curlin on dirt.

JCS is right about one thing... if the BC were this week, considering it's at Santa Anita and it's unlikely Curlin will run, Heatseeker would be the favorite, and the most likely winner. As for the rest, I'm not sure.
