That being said, Street Sense blew up a number of angles and I'm happy about that. Obviously the Juvy wasn't a fluke and he won his Grade 1 so I was wrong when I made my call back in November. I will continue to stick my neck out based on the numbers I see and the history I see. But congrats to Street Sense and those that backed him. And I will root for him to win the Triple Crown.

Now, to all the people who wanted my sanity checked for liking Sedgefield to hit the board, he missed third by all of 1 length while beating every Pletcher horse and the weak Grade 1 winners of Dominican, Tiago, and NoBiz. So maybe I wasn't crazy after all....And the opening round of drinks for the group at the Spa this summer will be sponsored by Scavs. Did Zanjero finish yet? LOL

The only portion of your post that I disagree with was that Hard Spun ran the better race. I thought he ran a hell of a race, seriously, but Street Sense ran an even bigger race. He had a great trip but he was 19th at one call, and charging for the leaders at the next call.

Great call though on Sedgefield -- I thought he'd have a rough go of it and ran an absolutely huge one.
