Wanna know what I think?

















Actually see a better spot at CD myself...he is proven there and the distance probably will be better as well. What the hell...take on the old guys!!



Gotta Go!!

I know that two of Pletcher's "handicap" horses, Magna Graduate and Master Command are pointing to the race. I may be in the minority of people here who think that Master Command can very easily beat Street Sense should there not be a ton of early speed. I'd still like to see the race and find out though if they're not going to the Belmont.

Maybe if Pletcher cut their cock and balls off and entered them as mares. His record with the boys is less than stellar.

Maybe it won't be, buddy ol' pal, just thought a little drop in distance at a track he does well at might help out rather than running 1 1/2 at a track he' s never seen & a distance that he'll most likely never...ever...see in his probable shortened career.

Plus, he'd get a ton of weight from the older horses in the Foster. I think because of the weight factor, the extra week, the fact that it's at Churchill, and the fact that there isn't much in the older horse division to scare u outside of Invasor........the Foster would be the perfect spot. I think that if Curlin were to win the Belmont and Street Sense beat older in a grade one, it would put Street Sense in the lead at this point for top 3yo honors. The purse is not bad either and it's at a distance that we know he can handle on a track that we know he likes as opposed to two unknowns in the Belmont.

Sorry to be a piss pot, thought you were gonna start things up again even after I agreed with you(especially about SS!!) I think running him back at CD and then on to Monmouth would be a good route for his connections to take.

I also agree with what KG says.

I'm sorry, I must be in the minority here, but I'm still chuckling at the thought of Street Sense heading to the Stephen Foster to take on older horses.
