NEW YORK — The time has arrived for Curlin to test the turf.
The reigning Horse of the Year will make his debut on turf Saturday in the $500,000 Man o'War Stakes at Belmont Park.
Curlin has won nine of 12 career races on dirt tracks, including the Preakness and the Breeders' Cup Classic last year and the Dubai World Cup in March. After his last victory, in the Stephen Foster Handicap on June 14, trainer Steve Asmussen said the 4-year-old colt would be pointed to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris on Oct 5.
