Default CURLIN worked 6f this AM here in DUBAI.

Curlin worked 6F This morning here at Nad Al Sheba. Great morning here in Dubai, and Curlin worked at about 7:30 on the main track labeled Fast. On my watch: 13.40, 25.13, 37.06, 49,07,101.35, and 6F/ 1200 metres in 113.54 H. His rider Carlos was motionless, and the horse was well within himself.His breeze was one of the best I have EVER seen. The stride of Curlin is unbelievable, and he was not even set down. It's a pleasure to see such a good horse.
I hope that the website www.drcnewswire.com has a picture from this morning. I did see the DWC photographer Monica out on the track so I am sure she got a great shot.
More horses arrive today, and the US horses flights (2-East & West) will arrive here on Wednesday night the 19th.
I will try to keep everyone posted of the news. It's a busy time, but I love it. I can't wait for World Cup day.

There is a beautiful photo of him up on the site, along with an article about the work. Thanks for posting the link- he looks great.

They probably just airbrushed the photo to hide his blemishes.

Wanting people to think he still looks really good for four years old? Or to hide his chubby thighs?
