Was at Oaklawn on the same day
If wanting to gripe on Beyers it seems Curlin supporters would have more of a stance than the BG group
Track was listed as Fast but after 2 days of heavy rain, completely overcast day with storms and more rain coming and going it was no where near a Fast Track
Not to mention 40 degree weather and ever shifting 20+mph winds...
Seen Curlin live twice for the Rebel and Arkansas Derby - he is the real deal
While Derby History may not be in his favor for not running as a 2yo and only having 3 races under his belt he appears every bit as good if not better than both Smarty and Alex
Please remember that a good part of the Derby jinxes of the 20th Century have been overcome in the 21st (Barbaro not running 5 weeks before Derby last year is a good example)
Will state here what I told one friend about Florida for March Madness and another about Curlin for Arkansas Derby:
DON'T THROW OUT THE WINNER BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE ODDS
