i agree. i've watched the stretch run several times and i never saw even a hint of street sense gawking at the crowd or pulling up. he looked determined and looked to be giving full effort the for the entire stretch.

LOL. How many message boards have you cut and pasted this drivel? For christ sakes, man.
