The Soap Opera continues.
Curlin owner Jess Jackson challenges Big Brown to run in the Woodward at the Spa on August 30th, promising he would donate $50,000 from the Jackson Curlin for Kids Fund to the non-profit Belmont Child Care Association if Big Brown came to the race.
Of course, to the surprise of no one, Michael Ivarone of IEAH says no with a comment that the offer was "sad"
After snubbing NYRA's summer meet including the Travers and Woodward, Ivarone now waits for NYRA to bend over and set up a mid September turf race for his horse.
Crazy.

If I remember correctly, it was Rick Dutrow going on & on & on to challenge Curlin to a race. Just last weekend, the ESPN guys, Jo in particular- compared Rick's Challenge to a pay per view wrestling match. I think Jess Jackson & Steve did the proper thing by ACCEPTING the challenge. Rick, unlike Steve does not know when to stop talking!! Steve is respectful and even a bit shy. If they are to ever race, GO CURLIN!!! However, Big Brown can't help it that his trainer has a mouth on him!!
