Default Re: Street Sense

Clark, Naj, etc.,

Back to racing. Is there anything to make of how Street Sense came back into the rail path after passing Hard Spun? Does SS still have a lot to learn? If he gets off the rail in the Preakness and finds himself in tight this could get interesting. My quick early thought is building a super ticket with SS in the under spots.

For those that say they do not know horse racing, nobody is going to give SS the Preakness. One of the reasons the favorite has fared well at Pimlico is, as was already mentioned, that the horses with the best chance to beat the derby winner are often compromised by their effort in the derby(and often times do not run). As a true horse racing fan I would like to see the derby field reduced. The horses who got stuck in the 18 and 20 posts this year deserved better. And I also hope Stormello is able to bounce back this year from his difficult campaign.

Thanks all.
