So, if it were up to you, what would you do next with Curlin? Jess Jackson wants to know. While I agree that he didn’t display his usual closing kick in his turf debut, he was a bit slow to come into his own on dirt as well and could benefit from some additional work […]

Given Curlin’s (relatively) disappointing finish in the Man O’ War, many European betting agencies have upped his odds for the Arc; they have also installed a new favorite in the appropriately-named Montmartre. Montmartre won the Grand Prix de Paris yesterday (Bastille Day, as you no doubt noticed) in very impressive style (video). Despite his win, […] For his first effort on turf (and against two Breeders’ Cup winners), Curlin’s second-place finish to Red Rocks was encouraging indeed. His outside post and slightly slow start kept him well in the middle of the track; in my opinion it was a very useful learning experience (and it’s never a bad thing to pick […] The Man O’ War should be well worth watching; Curlin has quite a task ahead of him. Red Rocks, Better Talk Now and Grand Couturier are all strong contenders, and I keep expecting Sudan to figure it out at some point. This race might be a little short for Better Talk Now, but it’s always […] Much has been made over Midnight Cry’s 20% ownership of Curlin and the various licensing issues it has caused — yesterday the judge in the case denied the motion to force the sale of said percentage — but little has been mentioned about their continued ownership (albeit under the guise of their partners) of Einstein. […] Curlin is off the juice and set for his first turf test in the Man O’ War on Saturday (after a license was granted to the receiver now handling the holding company for his minority owners, rather than to the indictees or their partners). (Majority) owner Jess Jackson doesn’t mince words: Jackson told the subcommittee […] This from the AP: A group led by winemaker Jess Jackson paid $2.6 million for an 80 percent majority interest in rising star Curlin in 2007. The purchase price, long held secret, has been released for the first time in a motion filed in a civil case against Curlin’s two minority owners. Until Tuesday, […] Superfecta is back from the shore and back to (almost) normal business, although this will still be something of an odd week. Curlin had his final work for his turf debut earlier; the Man O’ War is still the preferred option, and it seems that the details of his New York license will be worked […] A brief vacation check-in from the Delaware Shore…while I’m sure his nomination is just insurance in case the license issues cannot be worked out for the Man O’ War and/or heading to Arlington is out for some reason, I would be a happy camper indeed if Curlin were to show up in the Caesar Rodney […] The biggest story of the day from Royal Ascot is that Yeats did, indeed, win the Gold Cup for the third year running. He is only the second horse to achieve this milestone — the other, Sagaro, ran in the 1970s. Yeats is also the first 7-year-old to win the race since 1993, when Drum […] |
