Certainly I noted his less than stellar finish after that electrifying move in the Derby. But the debate isn't who I bet in the 2007 Preakness. It's about Street Sense's penchant for wilting in every start beyond 9f. That includes the Derby, Preakness, Travers, and BC Classic. So, yes, I am looking at it retrospectively.

And anybody could see Street Sense was 4-5 lengths better at CD than anywhere else. That is unquestionable. Then Curlin only would have had to improved by 2-3 lengths. Not exactly impossible, especially considering his trip in the Preakness was much smoother.
What about Street Sense's trip at Pimlico? Ran past Curlin like he was standing still, opens up on the field, yet gets beat. It didn't look to me like Curlin had found another gear so much as Street Sense let up on the gas pedal.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on THIS year's Preakness, to be honest.
I've made some comments in the appropriate threads. Waiting for the entries before putting my head in the noose.

I went to the Preakness every year from '05-'09. Good to see the only non-memorable version of those five races was Big Brown's triumph.

1989 Sunday Silence vs. Easy Goer should be higher than 9th.

Unfortunately the ABC broadcast that has been on youtube for years has been taken down by the copyright gestapo.

And I can't find it hosted anywhere else via google. Great job guys.
