I think it is ridiclous to compare the two. I am sure that I know more about what is going on with Divine Park, Curlin, etc than the press or 99.9% of the public or even the backside. There are lots of things that I know about both horses and a lot of other things that you wont see printed or said yet I can't make a lot of those things public out of respect of the sources. Your insinuation that I am giving DP a break yet I am picking on Curlin because of my affilation with one is not only insulting it is idiotic. I said that I didn't think that Curlins race was very special which seemingly was obvious. I also pointed out that DP has had unresolved issues recently which seemed like a likely source of his poor race. Where anything personal comes out of it is beyond me. Arl Jim is the one who dismissed DP as unable to go two turns or the distance and seemed somehow insulted that I pointed out that he more than likely had a physical problem.
BTW- if Curlin DID have an issue coming out of the race it would not be shocking...
