It’s a shame we may not see these guys run against each other. If Curlin goes to turf (and it takes) – then he might not ever run into BB assuming BB goes on to stud after this year. I’m wondering whether they’ll bring Curlin back as a 5 year old?

Of course, the weird situations with Curlin got even weirder with the potential for an Asmussen suspension. It’s all up in the air now.

If Big Brown comes back and wins the Travers up in Saratoga – who wouldn’t want to see him and Curlin? We need a big race this summer. My hunch is that a Curling/Big Brown billing would be so hyped that everyone would be talking about it – or at least more than are usually talking about horse racing.

Of course, in a perfect world I’d like to see him win the Arc over in France and be able to boast victories in the Preakness, Classic, World Cup, and the Arc. That would put him in unique territory.

Oh, once those two get a couple of beers in them they’re just in each other’s faces. It’s so tedious.
