As it was, the first five winners were As, so he couldn't have missed even for relatively small money.

nice roi!

I don't know what made me happier, scoring in the race, or seeing that Casino Drive was last.

mind you, it was a very slow bullet that had no moves.

but still. it was a bullet.

The wiley Dattori sat off Curlin . Then pushed the button just a little later and that got him to the wire soonest .

well, since i can only play monopoly money, it's no question for me!! i even had to rewind to see him fading from view, since they took so long to show the f.o.o.f.

Perfect trip by Curlin, perfect ride by Albarado. Just got run down by horses that had never been the distance.

He did a GREAT job handicapping the first 5 races, which put him in position to make a score in the Classic.

now, am i the only one calling bullsh!t when jess jackson was being interviewed before the race, or is it the cynic in me rearing it's head? he gave all those wonderful, flowery reasons for running curlin this year. but do we really believe it was for sportsmanship, for the game, the horses legacy, etc? or was it the only choice due to the legalities surrounding the horse? i think it's because not one stud farm out there would touch him because of midnight cry, and all the surrounding issues to go with it.

Danzig · #**917** 10-25-2008, 07:35 PM

it might even feel better than how i felt watching casino drive fade from view.

Horrible ride, Albarado was out rode by smarter and better jockeys all three in which finished in front of him. It was not the surface either, it was poor decision making and a awful judge of pace.

With that slow pace(which was a given when one read the PP's), why not wait a little longer, save ground, and make a run for the wire in the stretch??

IMO... He rode the horse like the win was a guarantee and the only thing that was of concern was by how many lengths were to be between him and the field.

To the thread topic, Curlin was/is not the best in 25 years. I would not have thought so if he had won this race by 32 lengths. This field was very questionable, with no real legit G1 winners other than the Euros.
