I am not buying the "hang" argument. The horse certainly "hung" in the Derby as well, except no other horse was moving fast enough to run by him...or was close enough to run by him. He ran pretty much exactly the same race in the Preakness as the Derby. Curlin just ran a bit faster in the stretch. Looking at Street Sense's stride through the whole stretch...I am not fathoming the "hang" theory on this race. No matter how fast the track was playing, it is hard for me to buy a horse running 1:53 and a half for 9.5 furlongs was "hanging".
