He just ran a 108 Beyer at MTH, off a layoff, where an early stumble cost him his chance of making the pace.
You are talking about as though he sucks.
I was dumb enough to have bet Any Given Saturday in the Derby, I know he had trouble and came out of it with a foot bruise, but he's had by far the best trip in each of his last two wins.
Street Sense has dressed up form and won't get the kind of pace he needs to produce his best.
Lawyer Ron was beaten at MTH by loose speed Gottcha Gold less than two months ago, anyone who knows JRV's style of riding knows this horse won't be applying pressure to the front-runner.
Curlin is another horse who needs pace...HS has beaten him in two of their four encounters.
There is no one else out there.
