Exactly!!

[ArlJim78]

mighty bold of them to offer to meet Curlin in a race that Curlins people say they have no interest in.

It's only fair that Curlin's connections get heat for not running in the BC Classic.

i'm sure wherever they end up running Curlin it will have nothing to do with dodging Big Brown.

I disagree. They aren't ducking anyone. They are ducking a surface that they know sucks.

Actually, that will be a totally new surface by then, but still, I think people are starting to realize how big a scam that AWT crap is.

I applaud them for this!

And being afraid of a surface isn't a chicken move?

So Big Brown will have 1 race in ~75 days and that is a tough schedule?

No, it is not being chicken. It's being wary of something potentially harmful.

They weren't afraid to try turf, were they?

Harmful? It's not like he's going to die by running on the surface.

That's just ***** talk.

Jackson said they wouldnt race there because winning back to back Classics has been done and they wanted to do something different with him, something bigger. i truly don't think they are so stupid as to be afraid of the surface, after all they weren't afraid to try turf.

Like Longchamps? Please. That's a pipe dream.

The Japan Cup? Pffft.

Melbourne Cup? LOL.

They're just being a bunch of sissies. They'll run in the classic because their beloved horse got beat by Red Rocks.
