Watching this again reminded me how truly great this 3 year old crop really was, I miss that kind of competition, almost 1-2-3 again, High caliber!

Hard to believe that both George Washington and Lawyer Ron are no longer with us, Long may the run.

i was happy about Curlin but heartbroken about George...

[@cocainebear714]

Poor old Geroge Washington can't watch this race makes me sick to my stomach

Hard Spun, An Absolutely Measured Alpha Male, He just had to face Batman and Superman. Still a champion is Hard Spun.

jetshockey5 I fell out of my chair I laughed so, hard!!! awesome bro!!!

[@ken45y]

Funny thing I can hear him announcing it! Lmao!

[@Venckman]

George never should have been there. What were his connections thinking?

[@ebbets1965]

Does Trevor Denman have a policy of never acknowledging that a horse has broken down? I know it's upsetting, but it still should be noted. Far worse, why George Washington's owners raced a horse who hated dirt in this soup. Why not run him in the mile or not run him at all?

IMO, if Curlin had more experience coming into the Ky Derby I think he'd be considered one of the greatest of all-time right now. I believe he would have been better than he was in the Preakness and Belmont, probably winning both. I know it was great history with Rags To Riches battling it out and beating him, but still, I think he was a true super horse with just a bit of his timing off. Just my opinion To me he looks about as fast as any horse you can name, when he ran his race.

+Joey Combs i can go along to some degree with everything you mentioned about curlin except him being as fast as any horse that can be named when he's on fire; that's a bit much...

[@tombrady7616]

@@sbdgrwnmrw6085 I don't remember too many horses posting 134 Byer speed figure.

[@glass_oni0n]

When I ask my father who are the greatest horses he's ever seen, he always mentions Curlin along with the greats like Secretariat, Cigar, Affirmed and Alydar. As someone who was born the year Cigar won the BCC, Curlin is one of the best I've ever seen. He's by no means an expert but he's seen a lot of races XD

cant beat rags to riches

I think the slop is what prevented Street Sense from beating Curlin in this Classic. Street Sense is the son of Street Cry. And as we know from Street Sense winning the 2007 Kentucky Derby, Zenyatta winning the 08' B.C. Ladies Classic, and 09' B.C. Classic. With Shocking also winning the 09' Melbourne Cup that the offspring of Street Cry have more than produced their fair share of revenue.

[@warrenmeltzer4892]

Lol. Curlin was a far superior horse than street sense. Street sense only won the derby because of a perfect ride by borel... no shot street sense would have beaten curlin even if it was 75 degrees n sunny
