Plenty of other opportunities out there. I'm just going to watch this one.

Baloney....it can't be amateurish to bet against any overbet horse.

Depending on whether or not I play the Pick-4, and depending on whether or not I like prices in the other legs, I may use him at least for protection.

By the way, Fat Man, you biking your butt out there Saturday?

At what price would you consider Curlin to be overbet?

That's hard to say but I would guess anything below even money.

Thanks.

I am torn. I think I am going to sit this one out and just enjoy.

Best of luck to you.

The whole plan may go up in smoke by the end of the weekend, but this path by the Curlin team is certainly one of the most interesting and ambitious things I've seen in horse racing in many years. I think the Arc is a longshot, but it is much more interesting than watching Curlin whip the subpar handicap division over here.

I'd go a step further actually. I think at anything less than 2-1 he's a bet-against. Hope to see you out there Andrew.

Again, Einstein would have looked great being entered here. A real shame he won't get Curlin on his preferred surface and distance.

once again beaten as the fav.

this horse is the most over rated horse ive seen in quite a while

[GPK]

He might...MIGHT lay over this field on Sunday...and even if he does, I still think it gives no indication whatsoever if he is ready for the Arc. Completely different ballgame on that side of the pond.

[alysheba4]

yeah, its just makes the race a WHOLE lot more interesting. just think of his legacy if he did win.......

[Handicappy]

It will be a very exciting race to watch. The fan part of me will root for him, the handicapper part of me who is struggling to be less amateurish will bet against him. I don't think he will be able to get it done. But while I appreciate the efforts by the connections, I worry about what a bad defeat will do to his confidence and ability moving forward where-ever Assman and his babe Maggi go. I assume they are inseparable now. I just hope they do the best for the horse. He deserves it, but I don't trust Assmussan or Jackson.
