The way I saw it, and I could be wrong (have been once or twice), is that Dominican was outrun by the leaders to the top of the stretch, then took advantage of the "bumper cars" game that Tuefelsberg created, and got up ONLY because Street Sense was bumped/bothered. Maybe we'll find out more in 3 weeks

I can't wait. Street Sense was very mildly bumped. He staggered into Great Hunter and shut the door on him. Nafzger when asked, said he wouldn't put blinkers on Street Sense for the Derby. Why make the effort? Street Sense needs more than blinkers. Like maybe a new training program?

Dominican beats him again on the first Saturday in May. If they even run Street Sense. I think he scratches.

Comes out of the race bad. Doesn't have a 5 month layoff to work with. Has no chance to win. Lots of reasons.

Teuflesburg hit Great Hunter didn't he? Looked like Street Sense did too.

Street Sense will get crucified in the Derby.
