So who Wins the 3 HOY now?

Man it really depends what SS and Curlin do from here on out I think. They are both 1-1 on racing one another. I wonder if that played into the owners eyes for not running SS in the Belmont, to avoid Curlin at all cost while he has the upper hand?

only half way home...right now, I say Curlin......but still a long way to go....

I think Street Sense is still the best of the bunch.....He should come back strong this summer. I can't wait for the Saratoga meet. This should be an excellent Travers this year.

I think Rags is the obvious choice right now.

everyone ought to know that right now street sense is ahead, by virtue of his kentucky derby win.

No way at this point. Its still way early. And NOt with a bizzare race like that. That was a turf race. I hope Pletcher keeps her against the boys. I would have to give it to Curlin if voted right now. Ran in all three TC races.
Super tough horse. I love the guts.

Well Rags won two classics if you consider the oaks- obviously it's not as big of a deal as the triple crown races, but the score is something like 1.5-1-1 in favor of her if you just consider the last few months or so and give each race equal weight. . . Curlin did more than Street Sense in the preps, in my opinion, so he gets the edge there. It's way too early to tell now, though. The Haskell, Travers, and maybe later races against older horses will determine who wins because right now it's way too close to call. . . If I HAD to guess I'd say Curlin will get it- SS may never race again and Rags may not be as effective at shorter distances. . .

I agree totally. Curlin is rapidly becoming one of my favorite horses of all-time. Hopefully he's around for a long time.

to many races left and it looks like a long HOT summer.
how about SS and Curlin in the Travers and leave the Haskill and Alabama to RTR.

right now i'd give the edge to Curlin. he did run in all 3 legs of the tc which is hard to do.

Is it just me, or is it June 10th?

It would be great to see him at Saratoga. My senses tell me we may not see him at all.
