I agree...I suppose I should expand on what I said by adding that if a person felt like Curlin needed more experience heading into the Derby and was unlikely to win because of a lack of seasoning, hasn't that been rectified in a way.
Curlin ran a much different race in the Derby than he ever has before, he faced more adversity and was taken completely out of his game. In a sense he reminds me of a more talented Brother Derek, a handy winner over average fields who got a rough, wide trip in the Derby before closing late. However, I think Curlin is going to be the 3rd choice and I'm not really convinced Hard Spun is any better than him.
As far as talk of going 1 or 2 deep in the multi-race exotics, Curlin will be the first horse, if there are any at all, I use to help Street Sense.
