While I don't want to say they are lying, you have to admit that it is natural to be skeptical. True, they haven't decided to run Curlin in the Classic. But back when Big Brown's camp was issuing their challenges, the Curlin camp was pretty much against the BC all the way. Now they've at least publicly changed their stance and are publicly seriously considering it. So is it a coincidence that on the day Curlin's fate could be decided, Big Brown's people back out before the work? Consider for a minute if BB's people had decided they weren't going if Curlin did go. How would it look if they waited til after Curlin's camp says he will go? Not good. A lot of conjecture here, I know. But I think it's at least plausible.
