If anything Albarado may have moved too soon on Curlin, but I think it's fair to say that Curlin had a bit of an off day in the Haskell - even if it was still an ok performance.

It was impossible to make up ground that day/weekend. Any Given Saturday just ran a gigantic race and I think it helped knock him out for the rest of the year.

LOL, it was the only time I ever needed Curlin to win from a wagering standpoint. I thought he had every chance to win and great horses overcome track biases. Just look at Ghostzapper in the Kings Bishop. If there was ever a more speed biased track than that day, I'd like to hear about it. I know he lost the race but he sure made up a ton of ground.

Don't look for an anti-Ghostzapper argument from me.

I remember you being a huge fan. I didnt like the fact he only ran 4-5 times a year, but man, he could turn heads. What a turn of foot from any position in the pack.

It couldn't have been impossible if AGS did it
