Good luck with that....

And for the people who have problems with me saying that Street Sense has been most effective as a "deep closer"

In Street Sense's three career best races....he's dropped way off the pace early.

He was 11th and double digits behind in the BC Juvie....

He was 19th and double digits behind in the Derby....

He was 2nd to last and double digit lengths behind in the Preakness

IN ALL THREE RACES HE HAD JUST ONE HORSE BEATEN----AND THAT ONE HORSE WAS CIRCULAR QUAY in two instances....and the hapless Imawildandcrazyguy in the other.

I realize he sat just off a 21.62 opening quarter in his maiden win---however, by defenition, he's considered a deep closer off his route form. I find it bizarre that I had to explain that....let alone had another moronic comment about a bias come up.

If anyone really thinks he will be pressing the leader through the early stages of the Breeders Cup Classic---they should probably just lock up and bet Invasor at the 8/1 odds he so obviously will be.

Nafzger has a lot of viable options---and he seems like a guy who will do best by the horse. I think that much we can count on.


I have to totally agree with you here Drugs, he is a hellava man and a hellava trainer. While I would love to see him run in the Belmont and get Curlin, I think winning the Juvy/Derby/Classic would be something to behold. Geauxxx Street Sense.

yes it would be something to behold, but as long as Invasor shows up again healthy for the Classic, its not going to happen. He is in another area code altogether.

With that said I wish Street Sense well and truly hope that he goes to the Classic.

Hopefully Invasor comes back from his second trip to Dubai as well as he came back from the first one.

yeah, not the easiest thing to do. he is a well traveled horse that's for sure.

on a side note, with Agnew I had decided that your avatars could not possible get any worse. boy was I wrong.

I've recieved many PM's and IM's about the tragic loss/killoff of the Spiro Agnew avatar.....

I know many mourn the loss of Spiro.....and really, who can blame them?

However, if you ask me, we need to stop destroying imperfect people at the altar of an unobtainable morality.....



May God have mercy on this message board and may this message board have the wisdom and the courage and the goodness to save itself today.
