I'm confused....do you mean to suggest that racing on surfaces other than polytrack is unsafe?

Heck no...I was just responding to the earlier post about the Rushaway usually coming up an "off" track...safe meaning safe from possibility of muddy or off track.

I've got reason to believe, Street Sense will be running in the Tampa Bay Derby (on March 17). Yesterday, he informed Mr. Holthus that there was a possibility that he can't take the mount on Officer Rocket in the Rebel due to unforseen obligations as to when Street Sense's next race will be. Well, today he confirmed to Mr Holthus that he would indeed need to find a new mount. With this plan of action taking place so soon since his first statement yesterday, this leads me to believe Street Sense will run on the 17th. Borel flies out Tues to work him in FL.

i am hearing the same thing smarty...however, we certainly know they will most likely not be 100% committed to either race for a few more days (after Calvin works him Tues. at PM). also, i am very excited about people getting off the bandwagon on this horse, because I KNOW he will not win either of his preps---because Nafzger/Wilkes will be building him to May 5th, same as the plan to the BC Juv. This just means better odds for the believers after we sing "My Old Kentucky Home"!!!!!!!

Carl did it with Unbridled for the Ky Derby and BC Classic and now can repeat with Street Sense. He is certainly good at pointing a horse to a race and building him up for it....
