Street Sense Number

And the sad thing is, I wasn't rooting against him in the least. Not at all. I think it would be great if a juvy winner could win the Derby....But if you follow Thoros and believe in them the call made sense. Nothing I saw today changes that.

I don't think your last 2 sentences are compelling. You can believe in Thoro figs without thinking that Street Sense was/is through. He ran a fine race today and deserves to be considered among the top Derby contenders at this point.

Sure he may fall by the wayside. There's probably still at least a 25% chance that ANY horse you name will fall by the wayside before the Derby. There wasn't anything to not like about his run today, though.

If you truly believe he has no chance in the Derby, you will have a good chance to capitalize on that when Pool 3 of the Future Wager comes out. I suspect Street Sense will have enough or almost enough money bet on him to make up for the entire track take.
