Really? why?
Street Sense took the lead at about 1 1/8 miles, and led for the length of the stretch.

The Preakness is only 100 yards shorter than the Derby.

calvin knows the race is shorter, and will ride accordingly. i look forward to a rematch between the two horses in maryland.

hard spun ran beautifully, i was yelling for him to relax a bit! he did ok, just a shame that he lost. but if he was going to lose, i knew it would be to that guy. street sense is good--i don't get the overpowering sense from him that i have from past winners-but his derby was a good race, can't take a thing away from him. top two are definitely good horses. curlins lack of seasoning imo contributed to his finishing back, but his raw talent got him third. look for more from him in future, today only being his fourth run ever.
