I see Curlin as a horse who made a dynamic debut and has moved gradually forward in his next two.
He's made gradual improvements on the figs (generally speaking, I haven't seen them all) as he successfully stretches out to two turns and then further to 1 1/8 miles, while also showing he can rate.
What we don't know is how he will respond to tougher internal fractions, classier horses, and the extra 1/4.
Right now I feel he's no value at 3-to-1 but I respect him. Anybody know what vetted wrong when he sold as a yearling?
