Curlin rarely won against great horses like Raven's Pass, Rags To Riches, and Red Rocks. He just didnt have the power to outrun them
-
he is.................NOT
-
Does he hate the Huns?
-
that is exactly what i thought. There ARE other horses in the world, i would have never guessed he would win though, i was thinking ravens pass would be like 2nd or 3rd, and then curlin or BB. i hope curlin is bred with zenyatta.

Raven's Pass has been in A LOT MORE race's this year than Curlin, and Big Brown would not have beaten Raven's Pass or The Navigator!!
-
i'm a big curlin fan, but it wasn't just the track, curlin went too early, 5-6 wide, dragged raven's pass into it, who sling-shotted past him. Americans also heavily under-estimated the 2 european 3 year-old colts. If zarkava was there she could have won mile, classic, or turf.

i think its unfortunate jimmy fortune didnt get the ride, he rode him very nicely in the QEII Stakes and I think the horse has improved in itself and grown over the summer which has made him a better horse. Frankie gave him a good ride but I think that earlier on in the season Ravens just wasnt as good as Henry and thats why he only beat him once in Ascot for the QEII, John Gosden got him to peak at the right time for the big international race! I think its a real pity that Fortune missed out.

We have to find a way of letting horses compete internationally. That means agreeing on a surface and a drugs policy. This Cup was a move in the right direction - for the racehorse.
curlin curlin curlin that all we have heard from the yanks he just wasnt good enough for the most improved horse worldwide ravens pass
