I agree that the two of them had the same trip and it wasn't particularly bad at all. However, there was a HUGE difference on BC day between being in the middle of the track and on the rail. I don't believe that Street Sense was/is 10 lengths better than Circular Quay and all the rest.
Circular Quay just needs to be watched this Saturday. I think we'll know after then whether he is a legitimate Derby horse.
