What is it? Scourier? Springsteen? Something else? He was fussing so in the winner’s circle that I didn’t get a good look, but it wasn’t something I’ve seen a lot.
thanks.
Looks like a snaffle with a chiffney?!?
Nope. This one.

Almost looks like a lugging bit to me… but I can’t really tell from the pic.

Hard to see from this picture but it looks like either a slide bit or an extened houghton. He always has his head cocked when he runs so that would help keep him straighter.
Slightly closer shot of the bit… My guess is a run-out.

That’s a better shot. I’d definitely say some sort of run-out bit now that I can see it more clearly.
The first pic was a dexter.
The second looks like a regulator to me.
I thought the first bit looked like a Houghton, but the “ring” should be a little more square…
I think Hony has it: regulator.
thenks.
Yes, it looks like a regulator bit or even more like this one http://storesense.megawebservers.com/HS1756/Detail.bok?no=125

From this picture it looks like they have similar bits… Curlin and Lawyer Ronn.

Looks like Lawyer Ron is wearing a ring bit.

No ring on the one in the pic… I’m going with regulator.

I was responding to InVA. Thought she said it looked like Curlin and Lawyer Ron were wearing similar bits in this picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockand...ses/1465748825
I noticed that when Curlin works out he tends to hold his head sideways and when he races he does not. I would think more training would fix this better than using those nasty old bits.

I think the trainer of Curlin is doing one *ell of a job with him…The horse likes, runs in & WINS in that bit…why change it with more training? You don’t fix something that ain’t broke.
