When it comes to horse racing, Horses Wild has got you covered.
2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner and leading candidate for Horse of the Year, Curlin’s racing future is still undecided. According to trainer Steve Asmussen, Curlin is not immediately scheduled for active training, and will walk the shed under tack for now.
William Gallion and Shirley Cunningham, Jr., of Midnight Cry Stables bought the horse last year for $57,000, then sold 80 percent of it for a reported $3.5 million in February after Curlin galloped to a stunning 12 3/4 length victory in his maiden race. Curlin’s majority owners are Jess Jackson and George Bolton.
Due to embattled attorneys, William Gallion and Shirley Cunningham, Jr., currently in jail on charges of taking millions of dollars awarded to plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit concerning the diet drug fen-phen, Curlin’s racing future remains unknown.
Steve Asmussen has guided Curlin’s racing career since just after the Smart Strike colt’s maiden victory at Gulfstream Park. He brought him to Fair Grounds early last season, eventually shipped him to Oaklawn to win the Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby, and then saddled Curlin to capture the Preakness Stakes and Jockey Club Gold Cup prior to the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
