• Beyond Big Brown (and the Olympics)

  As Val so correctly notes , the Curlin - Big Brown war of words may continue on, but it should not overshadow the other remarkable horses in training right now; it's really a stellar group of fillies and mares currently on show. The Alabama gives... Posted Aug 15 2008, 02:38 PM by SuperfectaBlog Filed under: Curlin, Better Talk Now, Hasili, Big Brown

• No Shame in Second

  For his first effort on turf (and against two Breeders' Cup winners), Curlin's second-place finish to Red Rocks was encouraging indeed. His outside post and slightly slow start kept him well in the middle of the track; in my opinion it was a very... Posted Jul 12 2008, 08:44 PM by SuperfectaBlog Filed under: Curlin, Better Talk Now

• Weekend Preview

  The Man O' War should be well worth watching; Curlin has quite a task ahead of him. Red Rocks , Better Talk Now and Grand Couturier are all strong contenders, and I keep expecting Sudan to figure it out at some point. This race might be a little short...

• Broken Dreams and Tax Breaks

  Thanks in no small part to our excellent seats in the shade, I had quite a nice Belmont day, which is presumably more than can be said for Big Brown . (I should note that thanks also go to Ventura , Zaftig , J Be K , Silver Edition and Dancing Forever...

• The Belmont Undercard and Beyond

  It's not quite a Breeders' Cup card, but there is a lot to like on the Belmont undercard. There are some interesting betting races but I am most looking forward to seeing some of my favorite horses in action. True North Handicap Rick Dutrow's...

• Dubai World Cup Day Wrap-Up

  Curlin was hardly only horse running in Dubai (although it certainly seemed like it by the time he took to the track); now you, lucky reader, can play the exciting new game called ' Did Superfecta Mention the Winner ?' Godolphin Mile Rick Dutrow's... Posted Mar 31 2008, 01:39 PM by SuperfectaBlog Filed under: Curlin, Better Talk Now, Great Hunter, Asiatic Boy, Premium Tap, Jalil, Finsceal Beo, Sun Classique

• Dubai World Cup Day

  As per usual on the Dubai World Cup undercard, most of the American entries who are not Curlin (pictured) seem outclassed (excepting, of course, the sprinters in the Golden Shaheen). I'd planned to do a real run-down of each race, but circumstances... Posted Mar 28 2008, 05:16 PM by SuperfectaBlog Filed under: Curlin, Better Talk Now, Asiatic Boy, Jalil

• On Curlin, Better Talk Now and Other Matters

  With the news that Curlin is skipping this weekend's events in Louisiana to head over to Dubai early (more on that later), Grasshopper has stepped up to contest the Mineshaft in his absence; Better Than Bonds will also be making an appearance in that...
