Curlin, the all-time earner among North American Thoroughbreds, gained another accolade on Tuesday, Jan. 13 when he was officially named the joint best horse of 2008 in the World Thoroughbred Rankings.
Curlin was rated the equal of Epsom Derby (Eng-I) winner New Approach, trained in Ireland by Jim Bolger, on a ranking of 130 pounds after a season that saw him bring his career tally of grade I victories to seven by the time he retired to Lane’s End Farm for the 2009 breeding season with earnings of $10,501,800.
