so should street sense skip the bluegrass? if he runs there, would running in the derby ruin him? i sincerely doubt that running in the tampa bay, the wood, and then the derby is going to 'ruin' any horse. providing he's healthy of course.
certainly, empire maker wasn't 'ruined' by running on a bad foot in the derby, where he finished second, and then running back in the 12f belmont. the only thing that cut his career short was his sire being unbridled!

i disagree.

i thought any given saturday looked better than SS in the tampa race. altho he lost today, this race does not in any way tell me that nobiz was the better horse. i'd be surprised if nobiz hit the board come may 5.

I agree. As much as I like Nobiz, he still may have some issues with the size of the derby crowd.
