perhaps he'll run in the super derby next, since it seems the penna derby has already also been taken off the schedule. i don't see him taking on older, altho it would crack me up if he were to attempt maybe the JCGC, and have one of the older horses curlin has been beating up on dust his ass.
since curlin looks a no go for the classic, i'd say that the chances of the two meeting is nil.

oh, and for those who missed it, the arc is a definite NO for curlin-but i'm sure everyone already figured that.

perhaps Big Brown will be considering the Arc. after all he is undefeated on turf and according to Dutrow, a better horse than Curlin.

yeah, i was thinking along similar lines. but i don't see it happening.
as for the travers, and them claiming three weeks is too soon for the horse...well, i think skipping that race is due to the fact that it's a far more contentious field than what he faced on sunday, and he showed he's not the same horse he was in april and may.

"Curlin couldn't win the Derby, we could," Dutrow said. "Curlin couldn't win this race, we could. Curlin got beat [by] a filly. We haven't. Our horse is undefeated on the grass. Curlin isn't. I don't know why people think Curlin is such a good horse. We're way better than Curlin."

How many former BC Turf winners competed against Big Brown in that MSW he won on the turf?
