Hats off to Curlin and his connections for bringing the horse back this year, and having the guts to run him today. Great sportsmanship.

Typed in the wrong horse. In my excitement I got the two names confused. Paid $3180 less taxes :oops: .

I thought that Henrythenavigator came in second, not up the track.

yeah i used that in the wrong context.

Casino Drive did however, run up the track. i'm not so sure he didn't bleed, which I wouldn't be suprised, with all the unused to stress put on him in the race
