Curlin competed in all three Triple Crown races, winning the Preakness Stakes (G1) and finishing second, a neck back of Rags to Riches, in the Belmont Stakes (G1).
After his third place finish in the August 5 Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1) at Monmouth Park, trainer Steve Asmussen said that Curlin would have only one more start prior to the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), taking on older horses in the Jockey Club Gold Cup Invitational Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park on September 30.
"The major target has always been the Classic," Asmussen said. "How do you get there best? I thought it was a good opportunity to run him at Monmouth over the same racetrack [as the Breeders' Cup]. With that in our bank, I think that just two races and we can be at our best."
Curlin was at his best in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, running down handicap division leader Lawyer Ron in his first start against older horses.
"I think he is an outstanding horse, and he proved so once again [in the Gold Cup]," Asmussen said. "The third in the Haskell and the third in the Kentucky Derby were against horses whose form had held up. We'll all meet in a month's time, probably to decide a lot of honors."
Curlin will train at Keeneland Race Course.
October 22 - Four furlongs breezing in :50.20 at Keeneland Race Course, all-weather track fast. 24th best of 32 workouts at the distance.
October 15 - Five furlongs breezing in 1:01.20 at Keeneland Race Course, all-weather track fast. 18th best of 32 workouts at the distance.
October 9 - Four furlongs breezing in :51.60 at Keeneland Race Course, all-weather track fast. 48th best of 55 workouts at the distance.
Trainer Steve Asmussen on scheduling races for Curlin:
"We're just following the course that everybody's made important. It has been suggested that they put way too much emphasis on the Breeders' Cup races, but that's where the emphasis is, so that's where we're going to target and do our best with."
