The difference here is that Funny Cide won the biggest of the races. Curlin doesn't have that same advantage. If Curlin had won the Derby and Street Sense had won the Preakness.......then Curlin comes back to win the Belmont (minus SS) and SS beats Curlin in the Travers for a 2-1 edge, I think Curlin would get it. But in the scenario I first gave, not only would SS hold the 2-1 egge head to head but he would also have won the biggest of the races. That's what makes it different than FC/Empire Maker although that was a close example.
