An honest hard hitting one-way speed horse like Fabulous Strike basically had no chance on that surface either.

I think this one could be easily explained also, Curlin simply was not the same horse he once was going into the The BC or atleast his last 2 races prior indicated to some of us he wasn't, I remember saying before that race he had nothing to lose going into it, if he lost they could blame it on the surface, if he won he would be a hero. Sure Raven's Pass ran great, but Curlin wasn't disgraced and I don't know for sure but numbers wise it wasn't all that far off his previous 2. Albarado errored also with the early move.
