Have to speak up for the champ here. He (Street Sense) gallops faster than most horses run. Holding either of his two preps against him is futile; both in number and in substance, he beat a nice colt in AGS, in Tampa, off the bench and "won" the Bluegrass over a course he intensely dislikes.

For "ATeam".... works are very important for "the Derby". Perhaps the poly will change trainers approach, but almost all Derby winners have always worked well at CD. Similar to before his Breeders Cup tour de force, 'Sense worked a nothing half at CD, then coasted home a convincing winner. Many say, his trip was aided because of the percieved rail bias, but as I recall he won the race in a matter of seven strides and won with plenty left.

AJim... Curlin, is as outclassed a runner as you will find. Dismissing him on class is not a difficult decision. After all "How many Grade I horse has he faced ? Beat? Grade II's? You get the picture. If he beats half the field it would surprise most cappers.

DrugS... Lately, your posts have been terrific. BBB
