Well Curlin did'nt do the same as dirt but ran well.
ONCE again JOhhny V can not ride a horse to save his life. He takes his horse out front into a huge speed duel with a 40-1 and sets suicide fractions and his horse held on pretty well. If he backs off he might've just won. Frankel can not be too happy.

I had trifecta with Mission Approved, because Mike Veitch said "don't forget him," with Curlin and Better Talk Now. That was a ridiculous looking race, but Curlin did great considering suicide pace and looked calm and professional. Oh well, only lost $24.

I don't get what you are saying. Curlins people? What did they do wrong?

Should they just run him on dirt and nothing else? Big time horses have on different surfaces. Was Secretariats people idiotic for running on turf up in Canada?

Racehorse times by the top three.

It was an amazing race to watch.

Castellano should be commended for a masterfully timed ride.

Took him off the dirt ... duh , if it ain't broke don't fix it . This isn't 1970's racing , Its like , I'm Nascar champ , scrap that , lets try Indy racing . Is there really a lot to this logic to understand ?

What was broke and what did they try to fix? They were just racing Curlin. He has turf breeding why not try dominating on it,and what's the difference between 70's racing and todays?

Was Lava Man's connections idiotic for running him on dirt and turf?

If Curlin wins,it's all, "yeah he kicked everyone's butt,he domiinates turf too!"

I don't think it diminishes him much.........but I don't think anybody is screaming for him to go overseas..............a wash...............

Contessa should get half of the purse..........for his rabbit

TheGhost · 07-12-2008, 06:13 PM

Yeah I do not think he embarrassed himself at all.

Marshall Bennett · 07-12-2008, 06:24 PM

Yeah , in today's market , his stud value only diminished by lets say , hum , only a few million , thats nothing really . So whats next ?

He just finished second against some nice horses in a top grass race. Why is his breeding going to lose millions now because of a second place finish in a G1 race? If he finished 2nd in a G1 dirt would he still lose millions?

are you on? Owners give the horse a chance on the green
and you complain? You are a very unhappy person!
You must really need something to complain about
and this is a extreme stretch

TheGhost · 07-12-2008, 06:57 PM

Yeah,must've lost big money on him no matter what they say they did. He's saying a 2nd in a G1 race to a B.C. Winner is horrible and proves he's npt good on turf and his children will not be.

Once again I didn't lose a dime . Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean you have to call me a liar . Maybe you lost . All I'm saying is his value was diminished today. Maybe they'll do it again on the turf , I still won't bet on him , will you ??
