Why don't the Curlin folks take a shot at the Million? I guess they want to get a race with right hand turns under his belt. Of course, if he flops today, who knows what they do with him.

They want a 12F race over the course. Same type of tactics they used in Dubai. Get a race over the same course at the same distance as a warm-up to the big race.

Archi is a serious top class horse, if he comes he would be very tough.

he was clearly not fancied today as well, sent off at 11-1, so the fact he won easy enough bodes well. I was kinda hoping he wouldnt win so i could get a better price for the million..

he is notoriously difficult to train so getting him to arlington will prob be the biggest challenge.

I think they said on HRTV last week he, Jambalaya, is seriously hurt again as he resumed training, but I can't find it on either BH or HRTV.

EDIT: Well I can't find it anywhere, but I know it was on HRTV on RDA, and it was fairly serious injury if anyone else remembers can you post it.
