Alan may not have been far off earlier in the week when he predicted Curlin is going to lose in the Man O' War Stakes at Belmont Park this weekend.
As reported by The Daily Racing Form, Curlin will likely face the 2004 and 2006 Breeders' Cup Turf winners Better Talk Now and Red Rocks, as well as Grand Couturier, Interpatation, Sudan, and True Cause.
I think this is the tough level of competition Curlin will need to face (and beat) if owner Jess Jackson and trainer Steve Asmussen really want to send the colt against top European turf horses in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in October.
The Man O' War Stakes will be televised live on ESPNews this Saturday.

I do not expect (yet hope) Curlin to win his first turf race-but I hope he is in the money.
