If you had a choice...?

Great choices, and I love your reasoning for it.... oh wait... what was your reasoning again? I know it was really in depth, but I forgot, so please repeat...

Well, Curlin & SS is close, and I think you've definitely got to throw the filly in to make it interesting. Seeing as the BC is not in Churchill Downs this year & Curlin seems to be slightly more talented than SS (IMO), I went with those 2...tough call.

Rags isn't going to beat them at a shorter distance. She can hit the board in the Classic, probably won't win though against Invasor, Street Sense, and Curlin.

Actually, that's a good point...I'd put in whichever 2 would give me better odds on the winner, INVASOR

I'm not sure if I agree with that... A mile and a quarter isn't like they're dropping back to a sprint distance. To me that quarter of a mile doesn't make much of a difference.

I think that 2 furlongs makes all the difference.

Rags will never beat curlin or street sense at 10F.

Considering Street Sense will probably never race again, I'll take Curlin and Rags.

Probably????

That means I guess you are now laying a price. I will take 6:5 for a few hundred.

So just because she won at a mile and a half, it's a fluke to you guys? We might never know, but I'd be willing to say that even at a mile and an eight she's damn formidable against these guys... Then again, at a mile and an eight, maybe Hard Spun has enough juice to outlast these guys.
