Curlin Is a Richer Racehorse Than You Are

By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com

By winning the Jockey Club Gold Cup on Saturday at Belmont Park, Curlin became the richest race horse in North American history, and the only to surpass the $10 million mark.

In this video of Saturday's race Curlin's jockey is in the yellow silks. The announcer is the legendary Tom Durkin, my favorite sports announcer in any sport.




This video is arguably Curlin's most impressive performance. He wins the world's richest race, The $6 million Dubai World Cup, by 7 and 3/4 lengths. Watch toward the end how Curlin accelerates like a car and just blows by the two horses in front of him.
