As a fan, I sure do. But as a realist, I understand what's going on. I may not like it but I know what the trends have become and I understand the reality. While there is never any guarantee of even the next day, I do think that for the long term, this gives Street Sense a better chance of having a summer/fall campaign than if he had ran. I have no doubt that he COULD run in the Belmont AND have a summer/fall campaign. I also believe that more horses SHOULD do that. But that doesn't change the fact that recently, more and more DON'T. To ignore that and keep saying what horses SHOULD be able to do is not recognizing what is going on.
