...which Street Sense is 1/9 to do.

A Curlin win in the Jockey Club Gold Cup or Classic without a Street Sense win over older horses would probably make that untrue. 1-9 is way too low. Even money maybe. Street Sense didn't look too sharp at Saratoga if you ask me.

we've covered this topic in past years. street sense has it wrapped up, no doubt. derby win, followed by the jim dandy and travers, while curlin has the preakness and....oh, wait, no wins since, correct? curlin can win the jcgc, and won't make a dent in 3 yo honors.
as for the bcc...well, that remains to be seen. but i don't expect curlin to win it. or street sense for that matter.

Curlins big wins
ARK Derby
Preakness
JC Gold Cup(presumed)

Street Sense big wims
TB Derby
KY Derby
Jim Dandy
Travers

Not a contest so far especially in light of the Tampa race looking much better since the emergence of AGS. And that is giving Curlin the Gold Cup which is not a given.
