Actually what I've been reading is Nafzger's been trying to keep Street Sense from getting too tight. The word was that they feared him being so close to peaking after the Breeders' Cup that they've been on eggshells the last couple months. If he was at 100% from now til the Derby he'd have to be something extraordinary to keep it up without getting hurt.
