Lawyer Ron doesn't seem to want to go past 9 furlongs; Any Given Saturday looked like he peaked in the Haskell, and Curlin did not run well in his only start at Mth. The Pletcher factor in the Breeders Cup alone is reason enough to avoid LR and AGS at low prices.

I have to ask about this comment. it seems that everyone repeats it over and over. Has anyone noticed that the best 1 1/4 race this year was the Jockey Club Gold Cup where Lawyer Ron and Curlin were separated by a neck and earned 114 beyers? better than anything Street sense has run in his career at any distance.
In fact, Lawyer Ron has reeled off three consecutive races that beat anything that this field has put up in their careers. Curlin ran a career best in order to beat Lawyer Ron. Meanwhile who has Street Sense beat since the derby? Has he moved forward? to me it looks like the answer is no. I think he finishes 3rd or 4th.
I really see this race between Lawyer Ron and Curlin.
