Default Is Curlie great?

I will go out on a limb and say he is the best horse we have seen since Sunday and Easy. Opinions?

I always was. It's just that I have become a total collecting Geek. I want the hat to get Steve A. or preferrably Scott B. to sign it. That way I could hang it on the wall next to my Stew Elliott, John Servis, Smarty Jones hat. Just another winner of the Arkansas Derby. I've got to get a life.

I like Curlin, and I think he is a phenomenal racehorse, but I'll just go back one year. I strongly believe that last year's Classic/World Cup champion was better and would beat him almost every time at ten furlongs. Curlin may be a bit flashier and a more striking specimen, but other than the UAE Derby following an injury, there hasn't been a more dependable racer and winner out there than Invasor to my eyes.

best since sunday and easy?

i think ghostzapper and invasor would both eat him for lunch. i think the barbaro/bernardini duo would have as well.
good horses look a lot better when they face horses who have never even won a grade one.
