Any word yet on Curlin? Does he like the surface? I hope he does so we have a curlin Big Brown match.

From what I hear, he gobbled up about two buckets-full this morning and appeared to enjoy it. Apparently he hasn't taken a dump since, so that might become a problem....something about the binding agent being used in this stuff?

I saw one of his workouts on it and he looked a little awkward to me.

I saw one of his workouts too and wasn't too impressed by it. He looked like he was climbing a little. I would like to see other horses work over this surface before saying he doesn't like the surface. It could be the way horses run over it.

He just had a fantastic workout there and asmussen was really pleased. I hope there's footage so I can judge it better.

Watched his work the other day on video from oaktree between the 4rth and 5th races think the fractions were.

23.3 47.1 59.1 112 and he was on a snug hold.

Curlin will run in the Breeders' Cup Classic Oct. 25 at Santa Anita's Oak Tree meeting, majority owner Jess Jackson said Tuesday. Pre-entries for the Breeders' Cup were due at noon Pacific time.
