I agree the breeding is different (SBD vs Rags), but the Belmont has a history of favoring speed types.

The question still hasn't been answered of where a better spot to try colts would be.

I have no doubt that Birdbird could have kicked Cowtown cats ass in the Derby!!

I know what you are saying but it would make a great storyline if SS loses the Preakness or even if he wins, it adds to the intrigue.

All I know is if Street Sense beats Hard Spun in the Preakness in a very close race, and both of those show up in the Belmont with Rags to Riches that would be one of the greatest shows horse racing has ever put on.
