Curlin is one of the most naturally speed gifted horses of recent years. From being unstarted to becoming the Preakness Stakes winner, Curlin exploded in mere months by displaying speed and persistency beyond his horse racing experience. Now, Curlin is to be test again on the 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Curlin was unbeaten when the chestnut colt entered the Kentucky Derby and tasted defeat to Street Sense. Then Curlin took Preakness Stakes away before falling a nose short to Rags to Riches in the Belmont Stakes.
After the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes lost, Curlin again took the road to the Jockey Club Gold Cup and earned an automatic bid into the Breeders’ Cup Classic, thus beating other Breeders’ Cup contenders, including Lawyer Ron.
Curlin and the Whitney Handicap winner Lawyer Ron are the co-favorites to win the $5 Million Breeders’ Cup Classic this Saturday both having Breeders’ Cup Odds of 3/1.
Curlin, worked five furlongs in 1:01.20 on the Polytrack at Keeneland. Trainer Steve Asmussen said the son of Smart Strike worked well, and he is impressed with what he has seen out of the chestnut colt after he defeated Lawyer Ron in the Jockey Club Gold Cup.
