This was very disapointing. I can't knock either horse, the best horse won by the day and he was BARELY better than SS. A better horse than Street Sense on the day. Both horses broke the stakes record and if they run in the Belmont I hope the best horse wins.
I really don't like Curlin so this was disapointing when they hit the wire I knew that Curlin won, but to lose like this just hurts even more! I had some 'bad' feelings about Street Sense not winning this race and felt deep down he wouldn't. If they both do run in the Belmont I assume it would be the reverse order of finish. Curlin isn't built to go over a mile in an eighth seeing as how he tailed off in the Derby, you can't say he ran a harder race than SS.
Can't knock Curlin he is a very nice horse, but I still think Street Sense is best, this horse tries his dang hardest every time and to lose by a nose or head just hurts worst! The race played just like Bluegrass Stakes, it's almost tougher to lose race's by a nose, especially if he wins the Belmont.
