Street Sense- should he or shouldn't he?

[Danzig]

i read that this morning, when i was at 'work'. i think he should run, but i've said that all along....it'll be june, and only his fifth race--why not run? only one derby winner, was he supposed to have a walkover in the preakness? i mean, what was the point behind anyone else running, they couldn't win the tc--going by nafzgers logic that is.

well if i were lucky nuff 2 have him i wouldnt run him. it doesnt matter how many races 2 date hes had this year, to run all 3 in the TC is extremely taxing and he was basically all out last time as was beaten by the better horse. i see no reason to burn him out when theres plenty of other potential pay days down the road. of course i could be wrong and eatin some crow but if they decide to run him right now in elmont against curlin i think hell get dusted

I think it is up to the trainer. He knows this horse and has the horse's best interest in mind. He is not trying to burnish his own image for anyone.

While I agree that the sport could use a great rivalry and I would love to see one, I think one should think of the horse first, not the sport.

I believe it was Steve Byk who brought this up on ATRAB, but SS is approaching the "too valuable to run" point. Who knows what the conditions of his insurance policy are.....
