Hard Spun not as impressive as Street Sense in the Preakness, thanks Mario.
Hard Spun's 4th in the Belmont more impressive than Street Sense watching, thanks Go-Go.
Hard Spun's 2nd in the Haskell, after carving out 110 3/5 off of a 2 month layoff, beating Curlin in the process, more impressive than Street Sense beating CP West in the Jim Dandy.
Hard Spun and Steet Sense both impressive on Travers Day in their own respect.
Hard Spun only very slightly more impressive than Steet Sense in the Kentucky Cup Classic.
Hard Spun more impressive on Breeders Cup Day.
While I am an admitted Hard Spun fan, I find his 3YO road to be every bit as accomplished as Street Sense.

I'm not sure where to start, but you are way off.
I disagree Hard Spun's 2nd in the Haskell is more impressive than Street Sense's Jim Dandy win. Hard Spun was running over a speed favoring Monmouth surface and Any Given Saturday buried him while Street Sense had to overcome a lone speed/slow pace in both his Saratoga races to win. And IMO, Street Sense was more impressive in the KY Cup, given that Hard Spun had the race handed to him on a silver platter as total lone speed, and he still was all out to win. The sea of slop on BC day made much of those results irrelevant.
