Curlin Could Make Horse Racing History In the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park September 27
Posted on Sunday, September 21st, 2008
In Saturday’s 90th running of the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup Invitational (G1) at Belmont Park, Stonestreet Stable’s reigning Horse of the Year Curlin could become the first American Thoroughbred to reach $10 million in earnings.
The 2007 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Curlin has earned $9,796,800 and trails only Cigar, who earned $9,999,815, as horse racing’s top money-earner. The winner’s share of the Jockey Club Gold Cup purse is $450,000, and that would vault Curlin to the top of the money pile. Second ($150,000), third ($75,000) or fourth ($37,000) would leave Curlin short of Cigar’s mark.
The biggest weekend of Belmont Park’s Fall Championship Meet continues on Sunday, September 28, with a card featuring 3 graded stakes races. And, as with Saturday’s Jockey Club Gold Cup Day card, those races are certain to have an impact on the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Santa Anita on October 24-25.
