Is Curlin being overrated by the margins over nothing horses?

What did you think of Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

I like them both a lot....especially Eternal Sunshine. I like the fact that knowing everything they know, basically that their relationship is doomed, that they still decide to do it all over again.

Eternal Sunshine is probably one of my favorite movies.

It's one of my favorites from the last ten years for sure. I like it a lot more than I like Curlin.

Throat, what's your take on Street Sense's chances on May 5th after seeing his two preps?

I think he's one of the few horses that are likely to win the race. To be honest I have seen very little to get excited about from any of the horses heading into this Derby and very few horses coming into the race with sneaky good races. Sam P. is about the only horse in one of the preps ( SA Derby ) that probably would have won with a better ride....but I have a hard time thinking of him as that good. However, I will probably throw him in because he will be a huge price.

Getting back to Street Sense, maybe I'm somewhat biased because I have an attachment to him and I would love to see an end to the silly BC Juvie/Derby " jinx ", but I have seen nothing to deter me from thinking he is at least as good as any horses in this race.

I've got a side bet with Philski on this horse. I don't think he is necessarily good, but he is an over-achiever.

I think you misinterpreted. Great movie, though.

I dont know if people are responding to something I wrote, I am just catching up this thread and not read it full.

I dont think I said that Curlin could go faster, I had to edit that post because I meant to say "Delightful Kiss" and not Curlin so maybe people read it before I edited it. All three horses seem to be going somewhere close to their limit.

Curlin, if I recall, was being hand ridden, which can be interpreted to mean he is capable of more although I doubt much more.

Sorry if I am responding to the wrong thing...
