I brought up Curlin's debut race to show that the horse ran huge before Asmussen had him. Am I incorrect there? I don't care when the race was.

And, since we're going to speculate a lot, like if Hard Spun was or wasn't, or Street Sense for that matter. What's your opinion of a lot of the stars of the 80's and 90's trained by trainers known for using steroids? They were considered ahead of the game then. Are we going to ignore all of their accomplishments? It just seems like a case of a giant hard on for the trainer and a lot of speculation, because really, you or I have no idea about most horses being on steroids. We know about Curlin and Big brown because their connections admitted it. I heard Contessa admit it on Steve's show a year or so ago. So how many other barns are doing this? Probably a lot. It sucks and until the different states crack down, it's reality. But there are a lot of other guilty parties than just the one you are blaming.
now, how can we take your post seriously when you don't call the horse curlie?
