Reigning Horse of the Year Curlin got another step closer to a start in the Oct. 25 $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic when he cruised through a perfect workout between races Monday, October 13, 2008 at Oak Tree at Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, CA. With regular exercise rider Carlos Rosas aboard and in company with Hawaii Calls (Shaun Bridgmohan), Curlin traveled five furlongs in :59.11, galloping out in 1:12.14. Majority owner Jess Jackson (Kendall-Jackson) and trainer Steve Asmussen were on hand for the exercise and indicated they were leaning toward pre-entering Curlin in the Classic prior to the entry deadline. ©Benoit Photos
