We don't use this f'n "churlish" adjective in this country. If "churl" is the noun, then f that too. I'm sure "churlishly" is the adverb to finish off the set. F them all.


Curlin hasn't been as good since coming home from Dubai. I don't care if it's dirt, turf, or synthetic. It showed up the most yesterday, because he faced a tougher field than the Wanderin-Boy types. He worked fine on the Pro-Ride. He made a decent move on it. It was a wide move, but that was the ideal part of the track. I don't know why he isn't as good. I don't know if it was the trip to Dubai, or not.
