He really has never run any "bad" races, but he's only run two great races. The rest were good, but there are plenty of horses in this race who can run "good" races.

i'm not throwing out his bluegrass, i didn't think losing a head bob was a difference between good and bad.
i don't think the horse is used up, set up for a bounce, etc. he's run three times all year. a record setter in tampa, lost a weird bluegrass, and then won his 'easiest' race this year in kentucky. interesting the one race that many think street sense may have reached his bottom in is the one that he won by the largest margin this year--of course three starts isn't much to go on, but it is still just three starts this year. nafzger got him up for the derby, now he has to keep a horse who has run three times in six months up for a bit-how hard is it really to keep a horse who is in good shape, who has a few inches standing between himself and a four-race win streak, in that shape for a few weeks? i'm not being facetious with that question, i'm serious!
