Looks like Curlin is going to run his next race on grass.

If Curlin was blowing after a dinky move on the grass, maybe he was struggling more than Albarado thought...or felt.
This may not be the best experience to give the best horse in the world.
I thought he looked pretty comfortable and was not asked at all. Think Curlin knows where the wire is? :-)

Thanks for the link...I watched it...couldn\'t really tell anything...they were going very slowly, the horse seemed ok on the grass, but if one could really tell very much from a workout, we\'d all quit our day jobs and hang around the track in the morning.
Curlin\'s stability on the grass won\'t really show up until he is set down on it. The NY Kelly\'s used to prep dirt horses for grass races with short, sharp works. I used to cash bets on them, going dirt to turf, following such works.
This was different. We will see.
