How is a race on the dirt against restricted three year old company a "nice prep" for a race on synthetic against older?

Curlins last 3 have not been Curlin like performances, if he regresses at all in this spot, Mambo can beat win

I kind of agree Curlin is the most beatable superstar... Other then the ordinary very good Ashado who is a worse Super horse then Churlin

Highly unlikely. Personally I would love to see him get soundly beaten and then run in the BCC. I think he may take to the synthetic at a huge price.

I wonder if they are doing this because they have plans of retiring him at the end of the year and they are looking for that race that defines him.
