No one is holding a gun to their head NOT to run. The funny thing is if BB wins the Belmont, Curlin has almost no chance to be horse of the year anyway.

Maybe Jess Jackson could care less about another eclipse for HOY. Curlin already has a Breeders Cup Classic and a Dubai World Cup win. He may want to prove to people that Curlin is one of the greatest of all time. A victory in The Arc would just about cinch it.

Maybe so but he needs to win the Arc because winning the BC and Dubai WC hardly qualifies one as one of the all time greats. When I see him training on french soil i will believe he is going to run there. I suppose i would be looking for alternatives for the BC considering Assmussens strangely terrible record on synthetics.
