Street Sense ...Triple Crown Winner

You are overlooking the most obvious, and best challenger, outside of Hard Spun. That would be Any Given Saturday, who had no chance whatsoever yesterday.

I had a strong feeling none of the Pletcher five would run in the Preakness...and a following quote I just saw seems to have confirmed it.

"Right now, I'd have to say that none of these five would go to the Preakness. We've been training King of the Roxy (Littleexpectations) for that race and he's our horse for it."

I guess the Preakness isn't very important to him.

I know his two Derby 2nd place finishers (Invisible Ink and Bluegrass Cat) passed on it....as did Flower Alley, who ran a sneaky good race in the Derby...and who I was leaning to betting on in the Preakness after watching film of the Derby,

I still have only seen the Derby replay via NBC's feed....I have no idea what happened, trip-wise, to many of the horses.

I'd like to see an iso replay of what happened with Curlin and AGS especially. They both appeared to find themselves in a difficult spot at key points in the race....but they were so soundly beaten, the latter especially.

I agree AGS is a bit of a stretch, but he had so little chance and such a tough trip, there was little point in even trying late. He ran as well as Curlin in my opinion. If you reverse post positions with Hard Spun, they may very well finish in reverse positions.
