Asmussen Confident with Curlin on Belmont Eve

Trainer Steve Asmussen is confident that Curlin will finish strong in the final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes.

"He is a competitor," said Asmussen in his first meeting with the media at Belmont Park the morning of June 8. "I think our strategy (in the Belmont) is very similar to what we always do. You know your horse and you control what you can control. I hope he is away from the gate cleanly and I hope he goes well over the racetrack. From point A to point B he is a very tough horse to beat. I think the adjustments that need to be made will be made by other horses trying to beat him."

Curlin will break from post three under jockey Robby Albarado in the Belmont. The pair is listed as the 6-5 morning line favorite.
