Street Sense to skip Belmont

[slotdirt]

Do you guys really think Street Sense is that good that he'll whoop up on whatever handicap horses show up for the Stephen Foster on June 16th? Unless it's some serious chumps, I wouldn't bet a nickel on him to be in the money. Master Command and Magna Graduate are two pretty good horses and at this point in their respective careers, would both have to be favored over Street Sense on a fair track.

Not saying for sure he would whoop up on them, but he'd be competitive and frankly I think he might be the favorite.

Betting favorite? He surely would be, absolutely.

Hypothetically speaking, if he were to go off as the favorite (which I'd agree he would be), why is it such a preposterous idea?

Several 3YO's have won the Met Mile against elders, don't know about the Foster w/ 3YO's but I think it's not the craziest thought if they decide the Belmont isn't the right spot.
