Super Freaky became a stakes winner in the La Habra S. on turf, while Twilight Meteor--a Polytrack stakes winner at two--has won the Hallandale Beach S. on turf. But it has been the dirt exploits of Curlin which have really caught the eye. He went some way towards justifying his recent sale price of $3.5 million with a decisive victory in the GIII Rebel S. Although this unbeaten colt had cost only $57,000 from Book 4 at the September Sales, he is a well-connected colt. His third dam, War Exchange, was responsible for the graded winners Barbarika and Lucky Lady Lauren, plus the influential producer Count On Kathy. The stakes-placed Count On Kathy had only three daughters--T. V. Countess, Count On Change and Tangled Up In Blue--but all three did well.
