Street Sense is a bit of a question mark on the wet dirt. Hard Spun, Any Given Saturday and Cowtown Cat have decent mud blood. Teuflesberg has the highest speed rating on a muddy track. Hope this adds to the confusion

This is JMO (for what it's worth), but Street Sense's way of going may be compromised by an off track. This concerns me... I hope it stops raining by then.

Any Given Saturday would move up on an off track.

I'd actually take Cowtown Cat over him in the slop.

after watching the Southwest about 10 times. I guess I would have to agree that hard Spun did not handle the track. HS has some wicked push from his massive hind legs. On that day you could see him pushing and just not getting anything under him. His legs looked like they were moving faster then his body was moving. So if he likes Churchill so much and a little slop/wet under him will definatley help that massive push of his, probably helping him consume a ton of energy. Just my opnion.

Churchill deserves an off-track for the Oaks and Derby for what they did to YouBet and IRG bettors. Magna has their own betting service both YouBet and IRG customers had no problem (not in the recent past) with betting Magna tracks. Now CDI enters the equation and they block the signal. So there's little doubt in my mind it was CDI who was the aggressor in stopping YouBet/IRG from taking the races. So let the rain pour down. Glad to see it. I'm sure the off track is going to hurt the handle even more.
