so, since no tc is on the line, should they just cancel? how ridiculous that it only makes sense to run if the tc is on the line. why would anyone other than the derby winner run in the preakness or belmont? just have two walkovers and put the pretender in the record books. whoopie, tc winner #12.

and good question about why they worked him! i don't think this was done in the best interest of the horse, but in the best interests of the horses next career. they didn't see enough to think he could handle 12f and the competition, so sit out...

wow, a seven race career at four. makes bernardini look like old school in comparison.
where's mineshaft when you need him? or medaglia d'oro?!

someone wrote that street sense was all out in the preakness (think in another thread) and that he may need a break--he was not all out, and would have won the thing had he not decided to loaf at the end..
