"We're way better than Curlin"

[shanahan]

I thought Dutrow already won the \"ass of the year\" award back in May...no?

Taken from the Paulick report site:

\"Curlin couldn\'t win the Derby, we could,\" Dutrow said. \"Curlin couldn\'t win this race, we could. Curlin got beat [by] a filly. We haven\'t. Our horse is undefeated on the grass. Curlin isn\'t. I don\'t know why people think Curlin is such a good horse. We\'re way better than Curlin.\"

Sounds good, but the reality is that Curlin today is about 5 lengths faster than Big Brown on dirt. Curlin ran against a much stronger group of 3-year-olds last year. Big Brown\'s one grass win was against maidens. Curlin\'s only grass try was a second in a Grade I stake.

Perhaps they should drug test the trainers too, and not just the horses.

If nothing else he sounds more like a Don King promoting his next fight. Might be worth waiting to see where he shows up next (or if he shows up again).
