27 days isn't enough time for Big Brown to recover. These great athletes need time between races.

mighty bold of them to offer to meet Curlin in a race that Curlins people say they have no interest in.

It's only fair that Curlin's connections get heat for not running in the BC Classic.

I dont blame them for ducking Curlin. He was all out to beat Coal Play. They'll probably go to the Penn Derby and win a head bob over the mighty Smooth Air.


Big Brown wouldnt finish within 5 lengths of Curlin.

i don't have a problem with curlin skipping the bcc. a lot of us complain that there is too much weight to that race that day, that it shouldn't have so much bearing on year-end honors. so how can we then complain if it gets skipped? it's only one race.
i just think it's sad that every race leading up to the derby is a prep, and every race after it is a prep for the bc. there is something very wrong with that line of thinking.
