Closers prefer to come from off the pace and horses with speed prefer to be up close. Stevie Wonder can see what Street Sense's prefered style is. For some reason, you know better than Nafzger and want him to do something else. It's laughable.

No one called Street Sense brilliant. he's not. He's a very good horse, who has won 3 of the most prestigious races in his generation. Hard to take that away. I don't know why it is so hard to understand this.

And the Derby stuff is old, like the "I'm not a fan of how American horses are trained" attitude. Good horses make good trips. Many, many horses had the same opportunity to come up that same rail that he did. No one else did. To say if he doesn't ride the rail, he finishes mid pack is crazy. Since Novemeber of last year I've been hearing about if Street Sense doesn't get this.... Well, he has proven A LOT of people wrong. How much did you bet on Street Sense yesterday, because your arguement stinks of a disgruntled gambler. And Hard Spun will not be loose on the lead. Again, Stevie Wonder can see what the horse can do when allowed to be on the lead alone. Not going to happen..

Oh crap.
I posted my comments a minute after you posted this, but without seeing what you wrote. I think I will be accused of being in a club with you now.
