There are many many races you can play each day with false, overly bet, heavy favorites. I guess I'm more inclined to play against those types and not this one considering what the horse has shown and the connections.
An overlay is an overlay, whether it's 10-1 or 8-5. I think AGS would be 3-5 to beat the field if Street Sense weren't in it, so by tossing him, I'm getting twice the fair odds in my opinion. Kinda like Lava Man in California. So many people are quick to try to beat him that he goes off more than even money and wins 8 straight.
