Is anyone sorry Street Sense or Hard Spun did not win the BC Classic?
I was rooting for Curlin in the Classic (without a bet on him) because he was the only 3-yr-old not heading immediately to the breeding shed. I think it's pretty cool that the best of the bunch stayed around to run as a 4-yr-old and now pockets $3+ million while establishing himself as the best dirt horse in the world.
