We really dont know how fast Curlin is.
He runs classic distances with no need to hurry given his stamina.
I know he was damn fast the first race
I ever noticed him.
I just dont think he was bad enough to drop the grass.
Obviously Assmussen knows a lot more than I and they did
not like how he performed enough to go farther with the experiment.
I like experiments.

he can't get most money earned with second place checks. so back to where he wins...i'd imagine that's why jess jackson says it's not impossible that curlin could race next year-if he's close but not quite to cigars total, he'll run in '09-til he cashes enough checks.
