			 [quote=Dunbar]That's my feeling, too, though I feel stronger about the 8-week layoff than the 3 career starts.   (I may be influenced by my rather large bet on "All others" in KDFW Pool 1 to root for Curlin!)     
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	If CQ or Hard Spun wins, then we know what to expect next year. And it will be awful. --Dunbar[/QUOTE I don't think a Curlin victory would be that bad, especially if it was a close race with a layoff horse finishing second. In that event, I think the "run them as little as possible" trainers might have to rethink the strategy.  |
