I certainly agree but running in the Belmont for either Curlin or Street Sense makes little sense to me, going 12f now seems an undue risk for either. Curlin apparently was extremely tired after the Preakness (he certainly deserved to be) and Carl has expressed zero interest in the Belmont, Hard Spun could go...speed is a huge asset in that race historically. What I want to see is both return for a 4yo campaign...gosh, that would be unique in this day and age!
