i just don't know that a horse who is used to running on hard, fast tracks can then run over a hard turf track and then be set to run on the mush overseas. seriously, the cut in the ground over there is nothing to sneeze at. and it matters tremendously. even if curlin ran at arlington or monmouth, in no way would that course compare to what he'd be on in france.
but good luck to him and his connections. they will surely need it. just remember horses like george washington, who look like champs on the turf over there, but look like fish out of water here in the classic on dirt.
