They forget how Hard Spun was strangled 4.5 lengths off of the early lead in the Preakness ... and how Hard Spun conclusively finished ahead of Street Sense in their two subsquent meetings after the Preakness.
People forget that Street Sense got another huge pace and dream trip setup in defeat in the Preakness.. the only thing missing that time was a live rail.
