I wonder what people are going to be saying if Curlin runs his prep in Dubai then runs in the World Cup and then isn't seen in this country until July or August for two races before retiring?

I suppose if he goes to Dubai we might see him again in the Stephen Foster, no? Victory Gallop was able to pull off that double and that would allow plenty of time for Curlin to recuperate once he gets back here.

I, for one, hope he stays here.

Shipping in for a prep is crazy. You go in for the big one and get the hell out.

My guess is they aren't going.....and if they do they won't prep there first.

Still two more races than we'd get from virtually all of the other top three-year-olds of last year. Glass half full, here.
