If we've learned anything from Big Brown – it's that nothing is ever a done deal. Going into this year's 2008 Breeders' Cup, Curlin is the overwhelming favorite to win the Classic. If he successfully defends his 2007 victory, Curlin will be named "Horse of the World."
However, this won't be without some serious competition. On Saturday, Curlin will face two of Europe's best turf runners, Henrythenavigator and Raven's Pass. These contenders will also be joined by Japan's Casino Drive as well as California-based winners.
In a race slated to run at a slow pace, jockey Robby Albarado may have to put Curlin on the lead to fight off other contenders – a setup which looks ripe for an upset.
Henrythenavigator prevailed over Raven's Pass over the summer until Raven's Pass finally rallied. Raven's Pass could still be improving while Henry has had a long season. Curlin better watch out for a Raven's Pass rally. The Bodog Racebook has all your Breeders' Cup odds. Get your picks today.
