Namesake

Regarding Charles Curlin, the namesake for the horse, per USA Today/Associated Press March 13, 2007he fought for the Confederacy.

Charles Curlin was a slave who fought - he's from western Kentucky - he fought in the Civil War on the side of the rebels," Gallion said. "One of my partners - a co-partner with Midnight Cry Stables, is his great, great grandson. "He named this horse after his great, great grandfather who was a freed slave, fought for the rebels - and now he's won the Rebel Stakes."

It should be changed accordingly --Kellsboro Jack 22:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ownership

Any further attempts to sanitize the status of Curlin's owners - Gallion and Cunningham Jr - will result in the seeking of removal of said user's rights to edit wikipedia and be considered vandalism. Have an issue with that? Direct it with me. --Kellsboro Jack 04:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted a change that someone had made deleting all of the references to the owners. Since for whatever reason this article seems to be targeted by folks looking to "clear" any references to the Curlin ownership dispute regarding Cunningham and Gallion, and since it is turning into a complicated mess, is it worth creating a new article that details the dispute? The ownership of the horse is relevant -- but does it really overhaddow his 3-year-old campaign? (Keycap 15:38, 12 November 2007 (UTC)).[reply]
- It belongs in this article, not a separate one. In 5 years it will be a footnote, like the Secretariat inheritance tax issue. --Smashville^BONK! 22:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The recent cleanup on the ownership section looks great. (63.243.99.90 17:24, 14 November 2007 (UTC)).[reply]

Race Career

The info provided in his race career isn't consistent. Sometimes there are final times and Beyer numbers and sometimes there aren't. Do these things belong, since someone can find them by easiliy looking on a DRF or Equibase PP? I started to edit it, but wasn't sure what to add and take away and decided to ask here first. Someone really needs to devote more time to it depending on what needs to be changed...
