Are you talkin about a race that happened back in January? And yea he wasnt even close yesterday but nobody was or could be. I liked the run he made in the stretch.

February, but yes. He is a grade 1 turf horse and basically a grade 2/3 dirt horse that was easily handled yesterday. If you want to try to steal a grade 1 dirt race for breeding reasons you don't do it with Curlin in there. The Suburban is in 2 weeks and they could have tried that. He might actually be able to beat the mediocre horses that will show up for that. He probably should have run in the Manhattan last week.

The whole handicap division is loaded with grade 2 or 3 horses or worse NW's running in Grade 1's. And their intention was not to beat Curin yesterday it was to run exactly the way he did. "Big Picture"

He can't run in New York because of license issues with his jailbird owners.
