He looked "spectacular" yesterday, winning the Arkansas Derby by a 10 1/2 length margin. But can he win the Kentucky Derby? He'll be breaking some long-standing Derby "rules" if he does.
Were the lightly-raced Curlin to win the Kentucky Derby he would be the first to do so without racing as a 2-year-old since Apollo in 1882. The last horse to win the Derby with just three prior starts was the filly Regret in 1915.
Nonetheless, he's now atop the Derby futures betting.
