This is juicy
Street Sense will now be favored and whichever of the the other 4 contenders you like take the 5-1 or higher and go to the window.

nice stretch run
Lawyer Ron just never seemed to rate today, those two monster wins at Saratoga have to be discounted a little, because today the time was 2:02, Curlin ran huge, Maybe AGS and Hard Spun are really this good and Street Sense also. I love it 5 legitimate contenders means juicy odds.

Another thing this showed was just how bad the handicap division is. Lawyer Ron dominated the rest of the older horses yet again.
That was not the kind of prep I like to see for the BC Classic though. It was a tough race. At the finish, I was immediately thinking that this is why the JCGC has such a dismal record as a Classic prep. It's a prestigious race in it's own right and it usually takes a big effort to win it, one which is hard to reproduce in the Classic. I rate the JCGC as a Classic prep the same way that I do the Vosburgh as a Sprint prep, the Arc as a Turf prep and the QE II as a Mile prep. But damn, I love Curlin and he's been my selection for the Classic for a while so it's going to be hard to get off of him now.

not sure it was that hard
I'm not sure who is going to win the classic. But watch the replay, Curlin was ridden very confidently all the way to the lane and not really asked until they came around the turn. Very similar to the Haskell when he was even with AGS just after the turn and then just flattened out because of the layoff, this time he showed his usual punch. I want all 5 horses to get there and have 30 solid days of debates. Plus there are some Tiago likers out there. And he runs his race every time as well. All of the 6 top contenders should come up to the race in shape and ready to fire.
