I figured they'd go G1 but I guess in his case he doesn't really need to put together much of a resume this year, if he wins the BC Classic he is HOY.
When you are top dog, you can set your own schedule and let other trainers/connections decide whether or not to take you on...I wonder if they are considering the DWC?

YEah

I'd love to see the BIG HORSE sprint on the turf. I can only imagine the dream race:

CURLIN

ENGLISH COLONY

GENUINE DEVOTION (yeah, the filly)

SLEEPING INDIAN

going 6F on the BEL widener

Can somebody get Ecclesiastic or Weigelia cranked up?

Also, does BTW take Sleeping Indian in this spot? I hear he's a big fan.

Man, what a race.

He's gotta go somewhere to duck last year's Derby winner, Believeinmenow, and Sprint champion OutofGwedda.

Just listening to TVG through headsets from studio in FL, and Millie Ball and whoever is on with her just said that Jackson (or Asmussen) said earlier today in an interview that Curlin will run in '08...

Hmmm, Curlin romps in the New Orleans, Daaher romps in the Donn, and Premium Tap romps in Saudi Arabia. Talk about a dream scenario for the World Cup.
