I guess the confusing thing for us is that you say that you think GH and SS are two of the best three 3yos running right now, and that Dominican looked "very very good," and yet you are actually going to place a win bet on TS. It seems odd.
But hey, it is your money not ours, and if you still want to make those wagers on him after we tried to tell you why we think it is a bad idea, go ahead.
Let's put this thread to rest now. We have all spent WAY too much time analyzing a horse of this caliber.

well id like to say i was way off with time squared, i did not bet him big i bet $15 wp on him and had him in the national pick 4 with street sense so im dead there also

He is not exactly moving in the right direction, and even if he reverts back to his debut # he would still be well short of the top horses in this field. His worst figure (the 67) was also his only race on poly. I just don't think he makes sense here at all.
If you think the top 2 are vulnerable (personally I am not convinced of this), why not go with Dominican? He is two-for-two on the poly and his race in the Rushaway was a very professional poly score. He wasn't facing any world-beaters that day to be sure, but it was a field of 10 that he defeated easily with a solid 95 Beyer. His race that day was far more impressive than anything TS has ever done. Clearly he won't be 50/1 or whatever TS goes off at, but given the quality of Great Hunter and Street Sense, he might be a decent price......and he MIGHT actually have a chance!

I hope you took my advice here.
I (of course) was too stupid to take my own advice.
