I'm just going by coincidence. Street Sense and Unbridled have the same record in Triple Crown races. Following that logic, Street Sense's chances weren't great in the Belmont.
Regardless i'm not upset over this decision. Street Sense was trained this year with the Derby as the priority.
If people want these horses to run, maybe an outcry for larger purses should be in order.
