Curlin: Forwards or Backwards?

[justindew]

Don't get me wrong. I think Curlin has a world of talent. But I think he might benefit from a break. He's been asked to do a lot in a short period of time, without the benefit of two-year-old foundation. I can't help but view that as a big negative.

Of course, he ran better than I thought he would in the Derby. So who knows? Maybe he got the seasoning he was lacking. Although, even if he did, a break still might be best.
