Curlin sets money record at Jockey Club Gold Cup
Curlin became the first horse in North America to top $10 million in career earnings, winning the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup on Saturday at sloppy Belmont Park. The $450,000 winner’s purse pushed Curlin’s career bankroll to $10,246,800. Cigar held the old mark of $9,999,815, which stood for 12 years. Curlin, the 2-5 favorite, beat Wanderin Boy by three-quarters of a length, and Merchant Marine third.
It’s Cool to think age is all the rage
This is a new race, with only two previous runnings, but the stats are still important as both winners have been three-year-olds rated between 96 and 99 - so that’s bad news for Young Mick’s supporters.
