Curlin's a beast, but Asiatic Boy is just as freaky on dirt IMO. With a successful comeback at a distance too short for him, Asiatic Boy could be the horse to beat in my eyes. I think there's very little separating Curlin, Premium Tap, and Asiatic Boy right now. Looks to be a great race.

UNC is certainly one of the best academic institutions (among public schools) in the country. As much as I detest their hoops team, she is absolutely right about that.

Theres actually a lot separating Premium Tap, Curlin, and Asiatic Boy. Anyone who has watched those 3 horses run know its not Curlin who needs to improve to be competitive.

He'll be the 1st American horse entered for the World Cup that has stayed that long and run in a trial race for the big race. The Dubai World Cup handbook actually strongly advises that a horse arrives in the country at least 4 weeks before the race. A piece of advice that has been routinely ignored by American trainers up till now.

It's hard to believe that American connections have ignored the advice of an operation that has ruined as many talented horses as Godolphin.

Not doing that seemed to work okay for: Roses in May, Pleasantly Perfect, Silver Charm, Captain Steve, Invasor, and Cigar.

Don't diss the sacred basketball team!!! Too bad Ty just sprained his ankle and might not be able to play against Duke. DUKE vs. UNC = best college basketball games ever!!!

I've been in California, in Georgia, in Virginia, riding horses, and busy at the sacred college. I figured that it was best if I left the board for awhile. Plus, I was getting a lot of race horse action elsewhere. Oh, and I am glad you enjoy the entertainment. I live to serve.

Sorry, back to how Curlin is going to beat up on everyone at Dubai....
