&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve seen this race and still can not believe such a horse exists and not in stud yet!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks G-d we can see him!&lt;/p&gt;

Curlin is a hero for the US.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;You really showed us how proper preparation and shear God given talent can make us so happy and proud, Keep up the good work! Congats &amp;nbsp; YOU ROCK!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, Nice Job Michele&lt;/p&gt;
