Does Curlin like Pro-Ride ?

JMO, I'm thinking that it really depends on what happens the rest of the year, and who exactly shows up. Does Big Brown ever race or win again? Does Heatseaker win the Hollywood Gold Cup and continue on to the Pacific Classic, all the while maintaining his peak form that began early this year. Does Pyro win the Haskell and Travers and take over as top 3 year-old heading into the Classic? Do we have another horse like Daaher who emerges during the summer at Saratoga? What surface do we see Einstein on next?

If there is a compelling reason to be at Santa Anita the last weekend in October, he'll be there. But as of now, a switch to the turf and a date in France at the Arc is a fantastic target race.
