I’ll never get tired of watching the 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic…. Curlin ran the perfect race and Trevor made the perfect stretch call.

Hey, I just realized something, I actually went to SIX of Curlin’s races!! The Preakness, Belmont, Classic, Man ‘O’ War, Woodward Stakes, and Jockey Club Gold Cup!! (-:

Curlin and Rags breeding would be awesome.
Also, I wanted to say that I am now a Zenyatta fan (since Curlin won’t be there to root for next year). Not that I wasn’t before, but when she started threatening Curlins second horse of the year title she went too far and my fanship was put on hold untill I was sure he would win it again. I really hope he does, that would be yet another feather in his cap, and god know he deserves it!! (-:
Go Curlin!!

@Brian – thank you for faithfully following him around to 5 races. That’s incredible…and he deserved that kind of fanship. Oh to love another such as him again one day. They’ll never be him, but perhaps they can be equally special in their own right?

@riffkind1969 – solid points (as usual)

I’d like to see him bred to a Giant’s Causeway or A.P. Indy mare personally. I don’t know a lot about breeding but what little I know makes me think that would be something.

Here’s hoping I get to see him at a stud farm. That’s sort of been a private hope of mine for a year or so.
