Is it just me, or is it June 10th?

Rags To Riches will be aimed towards all of the big races after her performance yesterday. You will see her in the Travers. I don't even think they will bother racing her against other fillies for a while.

Hey no doudt about it's early but I was just guessing maybe SS avoided Curlin and Rags because he wasn't at the top of his game. Not because he couldn't put in the best effort but because the connections were scared of losing another race to him/her right now. With Darley at the helm as the breeders did they have a say in it? Who knows just asking the question?

i think nafzger, being a top horseman, knew that his horse was not doing as well, and that curlin was still just fine. street sense lost weight after the preakness, which he hadn't done after the derby. if he thought that Sense was regressing, why would he try to tackle a horse that just beat him, that wasn't regressing?
initially i was very disappointed that sense wasn't running--but after hearing a couple days ago about his weight loss, i can certainly see why. it's why i generally don't try to speak when angry, so i posted some bs posts about sense that i shouldn't have...rather than waiting for cooler head to prevail...

Street Sense has to be in the lead. Curlin could have taken the lead with a win but he didn't get it. Since they are 1-1, the Derby trumps the Preakness. What's more interesting to me is how this affects the HOY race. At this point, I'm going to say that Rags to Riches is in the lead. But she's going to have to do more to be HOY. The only way she holds it is if Street Sense, Curlin and Invasor all falter. If she doesn't face males anymore and one of those three wins the Classic, she can forget it.

Yeah...HOY is still controlled by Invasor, by a large margain! 3yo cats are divided of course and Rags has pretty much already won 3yo filly Eclipse, Street Sense leads in the colt division but Curlin can take the lead with a big win down the road. It seems apparent that the BCC winner will be HOY unless some reformed claimer from Penn National pulls the upset of a lifetime.

You are all very wrong. The 3 HOY is going to Digger. Mark my words.
