Jackson loved Curlin thinks we was g-ds gift to racing. He watched his all time great lose on Pro Ride so he figures that he can't bear to watch Rachel lose on it. Plus he likes making grand statements and what better a time and place to get his message across..Of course , it is self serving and off color but it is his right to express himself. He ponied up the 6 to 10mil(u hear so many people who KNOW the price) Basically in comes down to this "in his club he can splash the pot whenever the FCUK he wants" (per TEDDY KGB in Rounders).

I can understand why he would probably have bad memories from last year, whether one believes that Curlin didn't like pro ride or not, I thought Albarado moved on him far too early, racing as he were riding on dirt, it was no surprise he was caught late. Numbers wise it was about on par with a Curlin type race, I believe he was actually starting to lose it 2 races prior to the Classic that started with the turf experiment and the result would have been the same on pro ride or dirt.
