![]() I don't see how it was a lack of experience that did Curlin in. He could have had 25 races under his belt and it still wouldn't have mattered with the start and position he had in the race. Those were factors that have nothing to do with experience.

![]() Albarado blew the ride here. This is a very good racehorse, I hope he goes in the Preakness, without 20 horses, he will be very tough.

![]() curlin ran great. he'll get better. the long stretch at belmont may be a bigger obstacle than the preakness for street sense. street sense is really quite fast when he turns it on. the shorter preakness should be perfect for him. if he moves too soon in the belmont, we could be watching a smarty jones type finish again where he gets reeled in late.

This was a combination of botched ride and (bad) racing luck. |
