The horse which i think you are referring wouldnt have been a good bridge jumping bet in my opinion. Again, i will get accused of redboarding (for the record I thought that Big Brown would win) but we had a three year old with injury concerns running his third race in a little over a month and trying a distance of 1.5 miles on a track he had never run on. That is not a good opportunity in my opinion.
Curlin at the Stephen Foster was not a great one either. Dubai jinx on a track he had never run on? Too many questions and history would suggest betting against these types.
