Yes, please, wait until after he wins the Preakness, if he does. Street Sense has lost enough times that he cannot be consider invincible. A slow pace beat him in the Bluegrass. And a bad trip beat him in the Breeders' Futurity (or maybe it is he just doesn't run as well on Poly as on traditional dirt?).

I think he does take a step back on poly...then too, his trainer kept the goal in mind. He's the only one with a chance now so I hope he runs his race in Maryland!

Oh man this is better than Springsteen's last album...

uh...

I definately think he will win the next leg, but it really is a tall order to get the last. Friggin great horse! Finally!! a 2 yr. Juvi winner gets it done!

I don't see his winning the Preakness as a "definate".

From a outsiders point of view that was a very impressive win you would hope there is some other horse in the wings that could beat him as after that race none of the others even came close.
I would have to back him again after that he made the rest of the pack look 2nd rate

For me it wasnt the fact he won but the way he won !! He never looked like losing that race.

What did you watch???

I'll have to wait and see what the figs turn out like (and find out who else is running in the Preakness) before I declare any horse a triple crown winner. I'd love to see one in my lifetime, though...

I was watching the video on the churchill downs site,but they just showed the run on our tvn with the overhead view Wow

if the other horses had been able to hold their line would street have got such a dream run?
Best runner there for sure but would it have gotten past all the other horses hard to say

Yes...I HAD THE EXACTA...COLD! first time ever in a Kentucky Derby!
This is the toughest race to get right...I don't NEED multiple threads...I got this one...right!

Hickory Hill Hoff · #16 05-05-2007, 10:09 PM

Only four horses were "finishing" the race, the "superfecta" finishers...NONE of the others were anywhere...NO excuse for any of them! If anyone is beating him...it would be the 2nd or 3rd horse & maybe a "new shooter".
Forget five through twenty....

Good to hear that!

It's a weak group. Maybe he'll be another Seattle Slew and win it in a weak year.

I would look at a rested well bred horse beating him in the Belmont. For SS to run back in 2 weeks and then again in 3 weeks after the way he's been babied . . . lots of questions. Maybe Tiago?

2Hot4TV · #20 05-06-2007, 09:18 AM

Curlin and Hard Spin both showed that they are the real deal. Expect them to improve. Triple Crown is just too much to ask of SS, let him skip the two other races and get ready for the breeders cup.
