I'm against the B.C. being held at Churchill. They simply are unable to avoid having a biased track. Belmont is a more fair track. Street Sense looked like he jumped on a motorbike and took a ride. He never did that before, or after. Yea, he won the Derby on the track, but was giving up ground at the end. Did he ever win by 10 lengths again? The Calbred WHO ROMPED in the sprint was all out to win his next race, and hasn't done anything since. They get way too much weather there. They can't get the track fair after that.
