Last year it was Barbaro who was mistrained, hadn't had enuf experience,
best races on turf and was way too rested coming into the Yum Yum Derby.
Result: He kicked ass by the biggest margin in 20+ years.
Either you know somethiing about this game or you don't. If you have any idea about how a good race horse looks and runs then you won't be here pissing on Curlin. All he has done is gone from a green race horse with tons of raw talent into a badass race horse with tons of raw talent. If you saw his debut and then saw his last race and aren't impressed with his maturity then you should go bet on the bicycle races. He may not win because a lot in the Derby depends on the draw and racing luck, but to just summarily dismiss him is somewhere between stupid and dumb.
