Curlin
Just a thought that came to mind: we have watched god-knows-how-many top horses get prematurely retired to stud because owners are afraid that a poor performance will hurt the horse's stud value. Of course, Curlin has been the exception to this because of all the legal wranglings that have kept him out on the track instead of being shipped to the shed. Although he was the favorite, Curlin came in fourth in the BC Classic.
The prevailing "wisdom" is that an unblemished record is the key to high stud fees. If this is true, do you think that Curlin's potential stud fee will suffer because of his showing in the Classic?
