Street Sense is still an enigma to me. To explode like that, even with the aid of a ridiculously strong bias, was incredible.
I think hes a fascinating horse, and really wanna see him run again.

Anyone that actually knows HOW to watch races knows that Street Sense was MUCH the best in the Breeder's Futurity at Keeneland. This was discussed at length on this board after that race by, at least, Eurobounce and myself. That may not translate to his domination Saturday but he was certainly at least four lengths better than Circular Quay at Keeneland.

His win was no surprise to actual trip handicappers.

Thats assuming an exact translation to dirt from Poly. A big assumption. And i freely admitted after the Futurity that Street Sense was the best in that race. I thought his grass breeding was a factor in that poly race. Apparently he was just blossoming. Bias or no bias, he was tons the best and gets the props.
