Curlin is going to Dubai

Travis Stone · #1 02-04-2008, 09:36 AM

The Star-Telegram reports it, and the Dispatch has it.

He's leaving February 15.

That's too bad.

Premium Tap will roll him up and smoke him.

Before or after Daiwa Scarlet and Latency blow past both of them?

Don't rule out Pretentious Euro Trash. He's omnipresent.

I'm admittedly no expert on international racing but based on the American horses' powerful records in the World Cup, I'd have to imagine Premium Tap is Curlin's biggest danger. I would imagine Curlin will be awfully tough in the World Cup 2nd off the layoff though.

YAY!!! Of course they will most likely send him to the breeding shed because he will have accomplished everything that would raise his stud value, but I don't hold it against them because I would have done the exact same thing with a horse that is this special. My prediction...he smokes the field in Dubai. There isn't a horse in the world that can run with this animal when he fires, and he has that long Dubai stretch to help him out.

Your last prediction on this board was that Street Sense was lame and wouldn't even start in the Derby. You saw it with your own eyes.....while watching TV. It's not your horse judging skills I don't believe, it is your remote manipulation, and my guess is you were watching " Mr. Ed " by mistake and got confused. Happens to the best of us.

You are this boards version of Dr. House.....which is actually a pretty good show.

Personally, I think someone stole her user name and password or she was zapped by aliens because she was never this retarded before, from the Ron Paul crap to other things....

Who cares about my last prediction? It won't have a thing to do with the outcome in Dubai...

Well, we all saw Street Sense's workout before the Belmont just as we all saw Discreet Cat's workout before the BC...I'll leave it at that. Just because the horses run fast, does not mean they are sound. You see it all the time, and I've seen/been around enough sore horses in the mornings to know that they can run through their problems on race day. We all know how Any Given Saturday turned out after that race at Tampa (another horse that I said was off)... Todd Pletcher was only able to get one truly good race out of him at the end of the summer after giving him a break....

So, I was wrong about Street Sense at the beginning of the year, just as you were wrong about Lost in the Fog. I'm sure we both will be wrong many other times as well. I know that I have been wrong a lot of times before, but who hasn't when it comes to horse racing?

I wonder what the odds are of Curlin ever making it back to the US from Dubai in 08.
