3. Mambo has to improve dramatically to beat Curlin unless Curlin doesn't show up.

4. I guess it's possible but he will be ridden confidently, as he should be, and only a slop induced speed bias will beat him....not his riding tactics per se.

5. I don't get what you're trying to say.

I don't have the ultimate confidence in Curlin, though he's a fairly likely winner, but he's still 40% to lose ( he's around 1:2 here ) so saying he will lose is hardly going out on a limb. The question is how will you make money on the race with an anti-Curlin opinion and in my opinion there are better places, and ways, to try to make money both tomorrow and any day.

If the bettor believes Curlin is going down, and Curlin does go down, and the bettor bet against Curlin, how is this not a good opportunity to make some money?
