I realize very little can be learned from the Blue Grass---however, if Street Sense really was a dominant horse, and really ran such a big race at age 2 over the track like some suggest, shouldn't he have taken that race?

When the fav for a race works 6 seconds slower than his previous work in his final work I take all further results with a grain of salt
