Racing Post rating & Beyers are apples and oranges
Go back on youtube and look at Curlin's last two races. Albarado hand rode him down the stretch, his final fractions in those races doesn't reflect how well he can close.
Ex. Preakness, 2007 BC Classic, 2007 Jockey Gold Cup
Curlin only gets beat here via Bad Gate problems or a horrible trip
Curlin is a single here in Pk3, Pk4, Pk6 and Keys in Exactas and Tri's plays
