Pure speculation, but I think he's going bad, they probably knew he could make it through the Derby and that's why he didn't start until March and only had 2 preps... They said all along they wanted this race as well. I think yesterday was his BCC.

Grasshopper might be a nice horse and got away with slow fractions, but SS should have not had as much trouble getting past him. I love the horse and have to commend both Nafzger and Borel, but I would be surprised to see him run again. I don't think he could beat AGS right now and what more is there to prove for him?

Street Sense ran him usual 105-110 beyer. That is good enough to win grade 1's. Some others are catching up with him, but he isn't going backwards. He is what he is, a 110 beyer horse. A 110 beyer could easily win the Classic this year.

We also heard so many times before the Derby, that he should not have lost the Bluegrass, etc. I really don't see how his effort yesterday shows anything you are saying.

We'll see...


I think he's finished, he's won the BCJ, Derby, and Travers...There's no more upside, only downside to running him...

You must be his archrival...NoSense.
