Curlin didn't look invincible...

[dalakhani]

Tough Crowd. Everything played against Curlin yesterday. He gets banged into pretty good by Divine Park. Then the dynamics of the race didnt help. Past the Point may have been 40-1 but he didnt run like it. He ran his eyeballs out. Him setting those fractions and being that far out in front forced Curlin to start his move well before the turn. That was a long move to sustain.

Pletny of excuses for him to lose and he won. Not a great performance but certainly a good one.
