You must have had a field day after that race. I assume you didn't have him in the Juvenile though, as he lost in the race before.
You seem to think that these are machines and they run the exact same everytime. Sorry, doesn't work that way.What facts are you looking at that I am not? My take on the poly races is they are very difficult to gauge. How much a horse is defeated on them isn't as important to me as how a horse ran. Evidence of this was the Breeders Futurity last year at Keeneland. I understand horses improve, but who has improved in your eyes, because I don't see it. What exactly am I looking for on the oddsboard? A clue? I am really having a hard time figuring out you and your buddies point. Maybe it's me, but what exactly is your point? That Street Sense is beatable? No sh*t.

I guess my point DaHoss...is and for probably for the 7th - 8th time...I'm not discounting Street Sense one bit. You are simply saying that CQ can't get the distance and that I should also discount CQ because he lost by 10 lengths to Street Sense and of course this awful 8 week layoff. This is gambling and I'm telling you that I'm ignoring the eight week layoff. I'm also telling you that he will be better than he was in the Juvenille.(A race by the way..he had a tough trip. Where he was "steadied" and "was pinched back at the start". He had a powerful close in the HOPEFUL....Had to avoid a fallen horse in the RISEN STAR and still somehow finished 5th....Looked very professional in the LOUISIANA DERBY. I'll bet my horses and you will bet your horses....that's why it's called Pari-Mutual betting. Therefore...I think he will run well in the KENTUCKY DERBY. Good Luck.
