This race is simple. Neither Curlin nor Duke of Marmalade have the turn of foot to pass the other. But both have the guts to hold the other off if they take the lead first. So whoever passes Fairbanks off the turn and gets to the lead first is going to win. Figuring out which one of those pinheads will realize that is the priceless question.

You are assuming that Duke of Marmalade will like the track....

He's probably as good a chance, if not better, than Curlin to take the track. I think this track equalizes everyone, turf or dirt, but I don't buy that there are many horses that don't take to it at all.

He's becoming a copy of his brother, picking up pieces of big purses. No knock on him; somebody has pass all those tired horses - look at Miraculous Miss; she has earned over half a million dollars over the last couple of years without winning a race (she was second in the FM Sprint last year, 4th this year, and third in the DeFrancis Dash).

He's a multiple G2 winner and a two time G1 winner. He's beaten Heatseeker, he's beaten all the American horses in this race, Tiago is much better than his brother!!
