He's just a monster. The way he quickened from them was so impressive. Does anyone know if he beat Dubai Millennium's track record today?

Curlin ran the third fastest DWC and he certainly was the "Man in Command". His acceleration was breathtaking. My heart went out to Premium Tap. What a sad day for a horse that is/was so gifted.

Very impressive. I don't look at track record or not at all -- not here. That was just an impressive race. I figured from that spot, with the way the track is configured he could end up getting hung out wide the entire way.

I also liked how the connections took the unorthodox route to the World Cup -- shipping early, getting a prep (first start back), etc. I don't know if it was planned exactly that way from the beginning, but it was an excellent move.

A very, very nice horse. I am really looking forward to seeing him the rest of the year. I hope he comes back to the US fit, sound, and 100% healthy.
