So this was Curlin's what, second career start? Give him another before the Derby, and he'll come into the Derby with three starts under his belt. I'm sorry, I just don't believe in a horse that comes into the starting gate in a 20 horse field with such little seasoning.
I can't find my stats, but I don't think a horse has won the Derby with fewer than four or five career starts since like 100 years ago.
