Street Sense Number

You can throw Read the Footnotes into this debate as well as he was finished off something like this also.

You are also guessing on the reason for the wraps. The fact is, the wraps weren't there for the previous starts so why now? Afleet Alex, if I'm correct, ran in wraps for only for the latter portion of his three year old season, which again was cut short due to retirement(he didn't even come close to finishing his 3 yr old season---that can't be your hope for Street Sense b/c that wouldn't be very successful at all).

Nafzger makes no difference at all.

Well said, I don't care what Nafzger says, I would hope he's confident he can overcome that, but in reality, this horse is likely finished and will not hit that number again...Nothing against Nafzger, but unless this horse is a freak of all freaks, that's too much too soon...
