No problem, boss ;) My point was that you have a number of people who are skeptical about Street Sense because he hasn't made a five-wide trip. The way he runs, he doesn't need to make that outside trip. If the "outside trip" is the standard that is being used to determine if Street Sense is a "great" horse or not, the skeptics may never get a chance to be satisfied.

Ahh got that one didn't ya:) ...I know he is a good horse & that helps him get the trip(not being intimidated by going inside & having a powerful move) along with the Jock(also not afraid to run the rail) but what if that rail is finally shut down on the turn & the top of the stretch and there is NO POSSIBLE WAY of getting his preferred trip...Does anyone from the Church of Carl & Calvin care to enlighten us? Does he still win?...place?...show?...OTB? Will going 5-6 wide cause him to "hang" even more? Being that wide will Borel be looking over his shoulder at the pretty ladies in the grandstand instead of the fast closing horsies behind him giving the Deciples even more reasons to blame for losing?
Thanks for your thoughts.

It was a great race. I enjoyed it thoroughly. SS has a shot every time he steps on the track...no questions asked. Just not sitting in the pew behind you...he wasn't forced outside 3,4,5 horses which is my bottomline question of how will he perform if or when the the situation arises. Will his stretch run be affected or is he "great" or good enough to overcome this obstacle.

AGS...CQ...HS Win Bets

Many triples including SS...HS in 4 of them for 1st & 2nd(which I posted I probably wouldn't use SS on top but I did anyways)

I just didn't have Curlin on any of them to finish it off but many others which would have made me very, very happy

I was also stupid for not playing the exacta but had 25 people at my house and having my wife pissed at me for it and truthfully forgot what the hell I had bet on my phone account.

Is this relevant to my questions about SS?

I didn't think you did...I don't really have a bone to pick either...I really would like an honest opinion from those who really love the horse or even from those who don't whether or not if he would be the same horse if he doesn't get his trip or close to(which was in the Preakness) and has to make a wide sweeping move around 3,4,5 horses. I don't need an answer like great horses make great trips. Nobody seems to want to answer so I will just leave it alone until it actually happens or when the church doors open again.

or maybe no one is saying cause no one knows.....
the shortest distance between two points and all that, calvin has done well with this guy. yeah, he got caught, which imo is more of a testament to curlins heart than to street senses lack of.

Thanks...I'll put that call in right away see where it gets me.
