And if you recall in Curlin's year, the 2 horses that ran in all 3 triple crown races.....ran 1-2 in the Breeders Cup Classic. (I kind of took that from Dunbar)

Don't get me wrong because I think McLaughlin is a very nice person and I admire that he works so hard, but could you imagine the excuses he would have had for not trying new things with Curlin or not running in all three Triple Crown races?
I understand people have their issues with Assmussen and/or Jackson, but they set out an ambitious schedule for Curlin last year (the Arc for example) and they never moved forward with their plans without Curlin indicating he was up to them. I think that's good horse management.
