You certainly don't see the same level of public affection for Street Sense that you saw for Afleet Alex or Smarty Jones to name a couple, even Giacomo.

I just told my girlfriend I would eat cabbage - raw - for a week straight for dinner if Flying First Class won the Preakness.

Just wanted to come back on and officially say how wrong I was trying a 1 way exacta of SS and FFC. I took a swing and struck out!!!! I guess that is why we all play this game however, because there will be a race very soon when we swing and hit a bases loaded grand slam in the bottom of the 9th. SS ran a great race until the last 5 jumps and FFC needs 1 turn BAD..you were right.

As I tried to tell you repeatedly in this thread....the poor colt had absolutely no chance here.
I still have no idea what you liked about him, but I must give you credit for calling out yourself on your error. A lot of people wouldn't do that.
Hopefully you will cash a nice ticket on FFC when his connections find a nice soft 7f, G3 for him to run in, and you can win all your Preakness money back.

Preakness day was just so incredibly chalky, I can see why someone would want to take a stab with Flying First Class. How many 8-5 or 2-1 horses won on Saturday?

I declared FFC 1 to 9 to finish last on another message board. It was the only thing I was right about in the Preakness.
