Curlin: Tackling Every Challenge

Description:
Just about the only thing Curlin did not do in his fabulous career was end “The Curse of Apollo.”
A horse who did not race at 2 has not won the Kentucky Derby since the aforementioned Apollo all the way back in 1882, and Curlin gave it the old college try to end that jinx.
He made his debut on Feb. 3, 2003 and then ran third three months later in the Kentucky Derby.
Yet after that first Saturday in May, there was no stopping Curlin.
