Widely regarded as the world’s top horse on dirt, Curlin drew the 5th post for the Woodward which includes a field of 7 other race horses.

Ridden by jockey Robby Albarado and trained by Steve Asmussen, Curlin should face a challenge from Divine Park, who was installed at 3-1 second choice. With jockey Alan Garcia aboard, Divine Park will leave from the No. 4 post.
