its just for me I only became totally sure of that later in the year. If you were sure about it early on, good for you because you were right.
i agree with your assessment on him 100%, he was the only one that could win a race that wasn't handed to him.
I think you and I were among the very few on here last year that could see through the Street Sense mystique. why he went off as the favorite in the classic is a mystery to me, off of his loss to Hard Spun and his titanic struggle with Grasshopper.
