I found 5 bucks in the pocket of my shorts earlier; I say we pool our money and get this movie produced.Kerryhttp://thoroughbredbrief.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9651790.post-89838834497374764522008-07-18T10:58:00.000-04:002008-07-18T10:58:00.000-04:00Curlin's the only one I know for sure. Maybe Hard Spun as well, although I usually look for his flared-up mane. He always looked mean to me - like one of the 1979/1980 Pittsburgh Pirates topps baseball cards.

Maybe then decide on the trip to France. <BR/>Wouldn't it be cool, though, to see him win the Arc or the Breeder's Cup Turf? He'd get Horse of the Year, Champion Older Horse, and Turf Champion.

Winning will do nothing for him.<BR/><BR/>After all, after Big Brown didn't win the Triple Crown, dirt is dead this year. Even if Big Brown and Curlin were to meet at some point, what excitement would there really be in that ?<BR/><BR/>If Jess Jackson truly wants to give race fans something to cheer about, he'll keep the horse on grass. To pull the plug on him at this point would forever brand his fine animal as just another good horse that couldn't cut it on turf.tvnewsbadgehttp://jamesrivernews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9651790.post-52423962169807466642008-07-13T09:04:00.000-04:002008-07-13T09:04:00.000-04:00i dont agree. i think that they should forget about france. i think they should try one more turf race now that he nows how to race on it, and if he does good go for the breeders cup turf. and get a breeders cup for the second year in a row.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9651790.post-26874426168915736502008-07-12T21:52:00.000-04:002008-07-12T21:52:00.000-04:00I agree. Isn't one of Curlin's quirks that he supposedly runs better the second time over a surface?
