pretty good article by Beyer.

If Beyer gives Hard Spun 5 lengths for SS's Trip, then the others should get that credit as well.

Whos gonna beat Street Sense??

Curlin has the style to win the way horses generally win the Preakness. As the camera cuts away during Curlin's 10 length Arkansas Derby, he looked eerily similar to Bernardini's Preakness stretch run. One difference is the half went in 48 at Oaklawn , other obvious differences are SS & HS. I am not convinced that Curlin is good enough to blow by these horses and run away. Maybe he is.

Hard Spun will go out to the front. What about Flying First Class? Will FFC demand the lead and give Hard Spun company? Another key horse will be King of the Roxy. One strategy Pletcher has available is to use KOTR to press HS during at about the mile when Hard Spun likes to take a breather for the finish. Will this strategy be used to aid the Tabor horse? How much did the 10furlong dirt race take out of Hard Spun?
