The Dubai World Cup fast approacheth, and naturally Curlin is the star of the show (even though he will have to break from post 12). Such is the level of respect accorded Curlin that Eoin Harty, who brings Well Armed, said:
“Even if they started Curlin on Nad Al Sheba road, […] By now, the news that Rags to Riches has been retired is common knowledge; while the official story is that she re-injured the leg she fractured last year, one does wonder whether (for which read ‘if’) that happened during or after a nice workout at Palm Beach Downs on March 19th. It’s hardly shocking news […] This past weekend’s Derby preps weren’t much help in terms of bandwagon-jumping; War Pass finally had a bad day and the relatively-unheralded (although previously a second place finisher to Denis of Cork) California-bred Sierra Sunset took the Rebel. Georgie Boy, trained by Kathy Walsh, also represented for California by winning the San Vicente, although the […] While I was very excited to see Rags to Riches (right, in a great photo by Fran) back on the worktab (and in a bullet, no less), I noted that Lava Man had re-appeared as well. I suspect that his best days are behind him, but if he’s really up for another shot at the […] Word is in the Pyro is off to Darley at some point in the not-too-distant future; it must be nice to have things decided so early in one’s career (although hey, at six lifetime starts, he only needs three more to equal Smarty Jones in total starts – just not as many wins) – at […] Curlin wins easily in his Dubai World Cup prep (or, as the Press Association put it rather more floridly, ‘oozed class on his debut in Dubai as he won the Jaguar Trophy at Nad Al Sheba in a canter’). If he were to remain in training another year, he could look […] The big question from this past weekend is what to make of the Fountain of Youth results — do they really tell us anything at this point? Nick Zito’s Cool Coal Man won, but the timing of the race had to be adjusted after an outrider apparently tripped the teletimer, leading to what seemed like […] While Curlin settles into a routine in Dubai, the legal wranglings continue; there is now a continuance until March 21st, mostly because of this: [plaintiffs’ attorney Angela] Ford has repeatedly alleged that Gallion and Cunningham have subverted the legal system by hiding or sheltering assets. But Mary Meade-McKenzie and Andre Regard, attorneys for Gallion and […] With the news that Curlin is skipping this weekend’s events in Louisiana to head over to Dubai early (more on that later), Grasshopper has stepped up to contest the Mineshaft in his absence; Better Than Bonds will also be making an appearance in that race. Most eyes will be on the three-year-olds, though, in the […] The Eclipse Awards presented (in the words of Radiohead) no surprises; Curlin was duly crowned Horse of the Year and Three-Year-Old Colt – ESPN notes that only last year, he had yet to make his first start.
