The best should win when given the chance. Did he have the chance?
Yes, did he win?
No, he lost by a poohair as did a few others.


Question...were all the other horses not fit as well or were they at their peak performance that they will duplicate in the derby while SS blows them away
as he was just riding the exercise bike in the Bluegrass.
The KING of asinine statements...So bad, it couldnt be ignored..

Coming from Jersey, the armpit of America, nice.


if you bothered to read further...

I'm sorry for saying a winner should win when he has the chance, I mispoke.
A Champion should win when given the chance, and I believe that is what should have happened yet it did not.


If he is the best 3 year old in the world that is prepping for this race and he was and still is far superior to the field in the Bluegrass as it seems many think on here, then yes, I believe he should have won, Bottom line.

1) What did I do or say to you?

2) I don't see the comparison between "Blocky's"(I know u luv'em) last race and SS last...
Sec was 5-6 lengths back while SS no further than 3 off the entire
race and should have pulled it out if he truly is the best in this crop, IMO.


And to the Jersey Folk:

I was roomates at school with a bunch of guys from NJ, I know it's not that bad, but it was the
nicest thing to say that was in my head at the time, I apologize to the rest of the Jersey folk.

Nothing... it just irks me that you can hold it against a horse like Street Sense for losing a race. Just an awfully bold comment for you to make, that's all. LOL on the 'Blocky' reference.

Alright, I understand, but can someone explain why he lost the race and then tell me why it seems I can't try to beat him in the derby? Like I've said 2 or 3x before, I just don't like him on top but will probably use him underneath.
I'll check back manana to see who else wants a whack at me, Good Night.

Nothing wrong with trying to beat him... if anything, I'd try to beat him by the fact that he's only had two starts as a 3 year old. But just out of curiosity... IF he had won by a neck in the Blue Grass, would you still be trying to beat him?
