I disagree with everything that Finley said. I even strongly disagree with his assumption that it would be better for the sport if Street Sense runs. If they skip this race, SS will probably be around for the rest of the year. We will probably get to see him in the Travers, maybe the JCGC, and the BC Classic. If they run SS in the Belmont, we may never see him again. I think they are much better off skipping the Belmont and having a healthy horse for the rest of the year.
I think that Darley did the smart thing by skipping the Belmont with Bernardini. I think it was the best thing for the both the sport and the horse. I would say the same for SS.
