Because when you do, you'll discover a pair of real racehorse performances..
When they came together at the head of the stretch, Street Sense had made up 12 lengths in a quarter mile.. a :22.4-:23.0 move.. Maybe it will occur to the 'hung' crowd why he 'didn't finish'.. And Curlin himself made up 9 lengths going the same quarter in :23.3.. (Before that, he had made the third quarter in :23.1...)
And neither stopped running for the next 3.75 of a mile.. THEY FINISHED IN :18.4 a head apart... Street Sense in :41.4 and Curlin in :42.2...
This was a throwback race with two unbelievable efforts.. What we pray for in this game.. |
It was unbelievable!!! And u are so right. "Us" as racing fans should be standing up cheering both of these horses. Thank you Street and Curlin!! makes ya mouth water to see what comes the rest of the year doesnt it?
