Because when you do, you'll discover a pair of real racehorse performances..

When they came together at the head of the stretch, Street Sense had made up 12 lengths in a quarter mile.. a :22.4-:23.0 move.. Maybe it will occur to the 'hung' crowd why he 'didn't finish'.. And Curlin himself made up 9 lengths going the same quarter in :23.3.. (Before that, he had made the third quarter in :23.1...)

And neither stopped running for the next 3.75 of a mile.. THEY FINISHED IN :18.4 a head apart... Street Sense in :41.4 and Curlin in :42.2...

This was a throwback race with two unbelievable efforts.. What we pray for in this game..

twas a belter of a race.. so many talking points but at the end, two outstanding colts.. not bad for a crop people said lacked a star!
