I'm not sure if I agree or disagree here but IMO the last 5-10 runnings of the Bluegrass have been far frompredictive. Millenium Wind and Sinister Minister looked like HOY candidates over the "old" Keeneland. |

![]() One thing Bailey said that stuck out was that if this race was run on dirt they would not end up all bunched up like this, a turf like finish for sure.
But then if it was on dirt who would have won?? Would Dominican come flying too late? Would SS have enuf left to finish? WHat about Great Hunter ![]() |

![]() Steet Sense is a toss. Shot from the Tampa Bay effort. Horse had the long layoff due to physical issues. Even Carl said he wasn't doing well when they went to Florida. Comes back after layoff since November and grits it out in record time versus AGS.
Now people believe he will win at 10f in 3 weeks time. He was trying to win at Keeneland and if Dominican didn't have traffic issues and they went another furlong Dominican wins by 10. |

![]() You do need to wonder if Street Sense can peak for the KD. Curlin will be the fav in the Derby.

Street Sense staggered off slow fractions. That's a dud on the first Saturday in May. |

On Derby Day you won't find him tracking leaders three lengths off of fractions of 51.2 or 1:16.3 either. I think he should have won, but it's not like the Derby is going to have the same ridiculous shape that this one did. |

Dominican beats him again on the first Saturday in May. If they even run Street Sense. I think he scratches. |

![]() Teuflesburg hit Great Hunter didn't he? Looked like Street Sense did too.
Street Sense will get crucified in the Derby. |

Curlin might be faster for a short distance. I think he put more ground between himself and Delightful Kiss in the stretch than did SS/AGS in the TB derby. Valid comparison? |

![]() i just wonder how street sense will get crucified in the derby, if he's going to scratch for all kinds of reasons.

![]() If he runs he gets crucified. Pure and simple.
Whether he runs or not will depend on the usual battle between a trainer's ego and the facts. I say it's 50-50 whether he runs. If he does -- then more excuses and regrets. This one has Bob and John written all over him. |
