From Ernie’s daily Thoroughbred Racing In New York email:

I watched Horse of the Year Curlin circle the paddock just as the first was going off. Schooling session. I screamed to Asmussen, “Thanks for running him here, Steve. Thanks for running him anywhere!”
“If he were mine,” he said, smiling, “I’d run him every day.”

Awww. I’m reminded … racing is all about the horses.
Related: NYRA is offering free admission and parking on Saturday. For those who can’t make it to the track, ESPNews will air the Man o’ War live at 5:15 p.m. ET. Thanks!

Cool, I meet Steve Asmussen at Churchill, he was very kind to Curlin’s fans and there were a bunch of us. There was not a shred of braggart in SA, he made me and others feel like we were a part of the cog in the sense that our belief in Curlin reinforced his own.
