Curlin in race #5 at Nad Al Sheba on Thursday!

[The Bid]

Miraja, Im not so sure that effort gets it done against the best horses over here, but glad to see the big horse get one under his belt. Hopefully next time he runs its showtime.

I hate how Robby rides, he can really put one to sleep and get them in trouble if others get the jump.

I'm not really sure who the "best horses over here" are at this point, but I think it is safe to say that he could have coasted to a pretty easy victory in a race like the Gulfstream Park Handicap.

I just can't think of any real competition for him right now here or there.

He could fly back over tonight and still win that race.

I thought he looked good, but looked like he certainly was needing one on the gallop out. I just didnt expect him to need any encouragement today putting away up and downers, maybe I expected too much

2:00.60

Only Dubai Millenium and Invasor have broke the 2 minute barrier there. With how easily he went I was expecting something like 2:04 or 2:05.

I think it's a fair guess, considering how small the margin of victory was, that the track was very fast.

Must be pretty fast. A 3yo filly just won the Oaks in 1:49.09.

It must be playing fast this year. Familiar Territory ran a 2:00 2/5 two weeks ago.

If that 2 flat's correct... he could have easily broken 2 minutes with a little encouragement from Robby. He didn't need it today, but may in the World Cup, as he'll be running against alot better horses.
