Thanks Steve. Any ideas who is possible for the Curlin Stakes? I thought Stradivari is and if I recall, one or 2 others were mentioned on your show. Conquest Big E maybe?

Still cannot fathom how it makes sense to run those two races on the same weekend.

I would take the purse of the Curlin and bump up a 3yr old turf race. Try getting a G1 on the turf restricted to 3yr olds. We lose horses to the Secretariat every year.

There we go. Take the Curlin $ and put it here. Maybe it helps draw better fields and they eventually get the G1.

My bad. It was a nine-furlong race for a long time and I was unaware they cut it back.
