He's the biggest $3 million steal ever.

THAT's what really impressed me...and then he settled nicely and didn't fight for the pace. Curlin took COMMAND over that path early on. Tough and relaxed horse.

after he turned the corner into the stretch he ran straight as an arrow, all business and within himself. This horse is scary good.

Albarado is the only negative about the horse I can come up with.
but yeah you're right, not inspiring.

you you you...party pooper you! lol

i don't have curlin other than in my rttr stable. not quite sure why.....he seems to do pretty well, just not one that i've ever gotten excited about.

altho, since i would like to see the ar derby achieve gr 1 status sometime this century, i'd like to see curlin do well with the time he has left to race. why, he may even make bernardini look like a horse with a long career.

He is owned by two of the biggest commercial breeders out there. Therefore I believe if he runs really well he will have a short carer and if he runs poorly he will have a short career.

When you look at who's training him.....we can only hope he doesn't have a short life.

Poor Quintin's Gold Rush made his first start for SA in the Lexington Stakes, and won it. I believe he was eased in the Derby....and may he rest in peace today.
