Street Sense to skip Belmont

Rags?
Sedgefield??

I'd like to see both of these go to make it more interesting.

And I'm not pissed about Street Sense skipping it.
I'd much rather see the Kentucky Derby winner run in the Breeders Cup Classic (going the same distance he won the derby), than running him back in the Belmont going 12F. There's no triple crown on the line and there's a real possibility he wouldn't be back to race in the fall.

I'd rather see the Derby winner in the Belmont - a far more historically significant race - than the Breeders Cup.

I agree. . . This is where the best three year olds are supposed to run. . . Street Sense has a much better chance to win the Belmont than he does the BC Classic with EEnvAsor so I don't understand why they wouldn't run him. . .
