If "it" happens -- I am sure, like in the Derby, people will have very different perceptions of what "it" actually is/was and what actually happened, LOL.

Personally, since the draw -- in my mind -- I have gone around in circles as to how this race plays out. Sure, I want to see the track condition, the bias, etc. I think the best horse won the race in the Derby -- period. I also think the second best horse finished second.

If Street Sense had to go outisde, and so on, does he still win? Beyer says no, maybe not, probably not, etc. I am not so convinced he doesn't win. The exercise in allocating a loss of one length for every path, etc. -- that of course is not an exact science. I guess the question might be, where does, could, would, he have to move to the outside and go around horses?

While the #'s might be very different, and the margin of victory is much greater, the same/similar conversations took place after Street Sense's monster victory in the BC.
