Hell, some dude started a thread here once asking my opinion on a random 9th race at Aqueduct, and after giving the three horses out who combined for an $800 trifecta I got " I wish you had said beforehand you really liked the one who won " and a post somewhere much later acting as though I took credit for a winner I didn't have.

So, sorry if I don't think you should be surprised if people don't congratulate you on your brilliance should your Street Sense predictions come to fruition.
here's where your wrong. I don't want internet cred...Which is why 90% of this board has no idea how I've done in the past....But I hate the fact that if Street Sense becomes Secretariat, I will take s.hit the rest of my life---but if it works the other way---whatever-- according to you. To me, that's unequal....But that's reality I guess which I'm fine with.

This is the internet...and you asked for it. You're smart enough to know that. You are getting very little credit if you are right but quite a bit more crap if you are wrong. Not saying it's fair....but it is what it is.

Hell, I've had people at Saratoga ask me if I ever have a winner....after giving out some good picks. It goes with the territory. Like everything else in life, you better find self satisfaction.

You can "count" self satisfaction. I understand the concept.

My fantasy baseball draft is right now, I should be paying attention to that. I just drafted Cory Lidle after taking Daryl Kile earlier.
